This belonged in the top 20: it was moving and heartbreaking perhaps that's why...something like this is difficult to even comprehend happening to humans and is very emotionally disturbing..thank you for this image. |

I found myself trying to think what your subject might be thinking about. His feelings, thoughts, emotions can be seen in his eye(s) and his body. Stiring. Nice capture. |

Excellent capture and composition. One fault I see is this image doesn't relate as strong as some of the othersin this challenge to the title. For example, this could be a homeless person in 1984, 1973 or ... That said, I'm not marking down for that. (7) |

I'm having difficultiies commenting on this image because it stirs up too much emotion and guilt. The image quality is the best under the circumstances and the most meaningful in b/w. You are brave to post such an image, something I also tend to do and get thrashed for, oh well.. |

At first glance this picture is disturbingly moving. Congratulations on evoking an emotion in someone you will never meet. Although I wouldn't hang this picture on my wall, it is a powerful commentary on our socitey and it's helpless. |

Great shot. Would have liked a little more background info to finish the scene (for informing future generations). Not sure of the significance of the scene. Aging? BOL |

Striking photo but what's the 2005 reference? |

this does not specifically evoke modern times to me. this condition has existed since the dawn of mankind, not just in modern times. |

What a great, disturbing image. A lovely B&W. That light in his eye makes me want to cry. 10 |

Striking photo, though one could argue this was far more common in past years. |

The problem of the homeless is definitely a situation present in 2005, but it was also present for many many years before that. I see the fit to the challenge, but it is not something that gets me thinking specifically about 2005. The photo itself is okay. The B&W is nice, but the centre psotioning of the man is a bit static. Also, the bright spot on the bottom left of the photo is very distracting. |

is that a death date, or what. Great portrait of an older gentleman though. |

The only thing that bothers me about this shot is the blown out lower left corner. Otherwise, I think it perfectly meets the challenge for the year 2005. Very insightful, creative, and emotive. Great job. 9 |

What a disturbing picture. How sad. Unfortunately, it could almost be any year, couldn't it? |
