This one was under-appreciated. I love the layers and framing of the man toiling away in his cubby hole shop. Nice job.

It did well.

Thanks to all for the wonderful titles.

For those who do not read Korean; the poster is a call on the affluent to note and help the poor, those who do not have. Above bit is the area in which this little cabin is located, right at the bus stop. The area is one of the most affluent in Seoul, yet he sits in this poor down-town mini cabin, trying to make a living.
He is fixing a shoe that will eventually bring him revenue of about $3.00. The old woman who handed him the shoe was one of those poor people we will always have with us.

Yes it is a dark image. For a reason, that is no life, that is a struggle for survival and yet he never gives up. Ring the bell that still can ring....

One of the best in the challenge in my opinion. I still see the tragedy of it.

Small Spaces: Workspace of the Week
I love the composition and interest here - keep wishing there was less color on the left and just a bit on the right. Maybe desaturate the blue in the background on the poster and then find a way to pick up the yellow on the right (maybe the door handles?) Fascinating shot with both compositional and human interest.
Voted earlier, back to title.
