I didn't vote on this Challenge.
But this has a sad feeling to it so maybe that is why your image wasn't voted high ( Neither was mine at 132)

As an image itself, I think it is excellent, clear, sharp focus a sad story to tell and definately a bad habit. IMHO I see this as a man who has drunk to much booze and is sleeping it off I guess some people live this way all the time but this guys clothes dont look old
Booze is a habit and getting drunk is so I agree its a habit

Who knows what people like. I prefer this style to seeing a cup of coffee or a cigarette. I think you just have to be happy with your own image, or you would give up.

I think my latest images are the best I've done but they are only doing average so be happy with your own photography and style. It is
good to have different styles imagine if we were all the same
Good luck with your future challenges and least you didnt come 257th LOL!

Interesting capture. Seems a litle overexposed or at least it needs more contrast.

I'm not so sure I'd call sleeping in public places a habit. The composition of this picture is good, but the lighting seems a bit flat to me.

This is not a habit, it's a necessity.

A nice composition - I like the lines created by the tracks in the sand (they go around the sleeper) and the upright pillars. The b&w choice is interesting. I might have liked an angle that showed the person's face.

is that really a habit? or a circumstance...I had problems trying to decide for myself on what was/wasn't a habit trying to find an idea
