Nice composition & sepia tone.

I sure wish this was bigger, I like the idea a lot, just can't really get a good grasp on it

Sepia is a good choice here. I would prefer to see the guy moved more to the left or right. (rule of thirds) as this would certainly help with the composition.

I also find the image a little to small to really see what is going on here.

Like the sepia. Subject too centered for my taste. If you could cropped it to the left and get rid of that pole (wall) would be better IMO. Than the size is too small to judge it correctly

makes me cold and depressed to just see this guy. Good illustration of poverty.

I just wish the picture was bigger and more cropped in on the subject so you could see the details of their face.

I think this would have been stronger if you were closer to the person.

would help if picture was a little bigger. It's a good picture, however. I like the sepia tone, and the composition...

I like the colour and lighting, feels a bit too set-up. The clothing and shoes look too clean for true representation of the subject. However, it does convey the expected look for Poverty. Good Luck.

confusing title since the signs are advertising available rooms. . .

compestion not good try diffrent crop.
10/27/2004 09:53:36 PM
picture too small.

A homeless man in front of signs selling homes that he can not afford. That is poverty. And I like the black and white, I get the feeling this image would not have worked nearly as effectivly in color.

A little small and perhaps a bit more cropping needed.
10/27/2004 06:15:02 AM
nice photo, it would have been nice to crop it a little tighter on the person.

I get to ask questions . who what and why he has ended up here. a perceptive image.
