Thanks for all the feedback.
Some of you addressed the "softness" of the photo. The sharpness seems to have been lost when I scaled it down for submission. The photo was very sharp and crisp.

Like the photo.
Might have done more justice in black and white, and a bit further off, showing the man in context (posh cars parked near by, fancy restaurant, or affluent Nike wearing joggers, etc.)
Remember the "W's" of picture story-telling.

Homelessness is good darkness concept. Framing is fine. Depth of field works for the greenery behind.
The softness of the image focus will result in lower scores and is its most notable defect. At this distance viewers expect to be able to see more detail in your subject, despite his condition and the nature of this shot.
Overall the colors in this composition are weak, even the green in the background. Brightening the colors would add more visual interest to the composition. This could be intentional but will not work very well for most viewers.
This image captured from a 'snapshoot' angle and might be more interesting if taken from a different perspective like from below or from the level of the homeless person. This makes you look figuratively like you are looking down on the homeless though that is probably not you intention. |

| this is about the fifth image of this type, the "down and outters" i'll call them. the others seemed to show a sort of sorrow, or compassion. i don't see that with this one. i don't know why, perhaps the color? perhaps it's too real? perhaps it angle of looking slightly down on him, like you might if you passed him in the street? i'll have to think about it. |

| I'm not sure if I'm clear on the theme here...is the plight of the homeless what darkness means to you? Evocative photo, but not sure if it applies for the challenge. |
