Make Do & Mend

This is a good composition. my only concern is that the lighting on the needle is too much, giving a blown out feeling.

Everything else is crisp and sharp.

Fully compliant outhouse

Good bit of fun, but not to hot the poverty theme.

As a photograph I feel that the planks square on give a very static feeling, which could have been significantly improved if the wall were shot at an angle. Maybee a side and the front.

Busted Sole

Comment:
This image is too central and small for me.
you are alowed upto 640pixels wide. As a rule photographs which are clopser to this size tend to de better.
If you have a larger image, you will then be able to move the boot off centre and utilise the rule of thirds.

College Man's Poverty

Comment:
I dreamed of having this much food in my fridge when I was a student. It is encouraging to see that you have already drunk all the alcohol.

Everthing is to central in this picture. I would prefer to see some of the contents to be moved either left or right. Remember the rule of thirds..

Modest, but bursting with color!
by Jean

Comment:
It is certainly bursting with colour, but the modesty is not portrayed very strongly, so as a result the poverty association is lost.

As a pure photograph, the v ivid colours are warm and inviting, however the cemtral positioning of the window, gives a static impression. I would prefer to see the window croped on either the left or right hand side.

Paupers Bath
by chookie

Comment:
As a straight photograph, I feel that this image would would offer more compositional strength if the bath were more to the left. As a submission for a poverty chalenge, this misses the mark for me. I get more of an impression of a scrap yard or dumping ground.

In need of repair

Comment:
The focus is sharp and the tonal colouring is excellent.
The composition however, does not work for me as I feel that the central tree breaks up the image.

Poverty with pigeon.

Comment:
Great composition here, the only thing that stops this from being a top photo, is it doesn't speak povert as well as some of the others. However I love it as a photograph.

great title, how many times do we all walk past without seeing.

Poverty
by elenoc

Comment:
Starved of water and nutrients, is the basic message here. I would have chosen a different title to �poverty�, as I feel this looses some of the impact.

However the image is spot on for me.
