I have been asked to give an indepth critique on this photo for the critique club...I pretty much summed it up in my original comment during voting, but I will attempt to be more descriptive. :0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial: This photo makes me feel sorry for the person.

Composition: The framing and angle are excellent for this photo. He is in chaos, and the angle adds to this feeling.

Technical: I mentioned that boosting the brightness/levels a bit would benefit this photo... I said this because his face is in such shadow, and the overall tone of the photo is dark. Not too bright...just enough to bring out more detail.

I am left wondering what he is doing. Writing a list? What is going thru his mind?

Good catch, Meeks!

This is excellent. The framing and angle are great. I think boosting the brightness/levels a bit would benefit this photo. Nice work otherwise.

Good title. Messy.

I find the angleƂ@of this shot a bit strange, took me a while to realise that it was looking down. I think I would prefer a different angle.

sad, fairly static portrait of an unfortunate person, rendered with extreme clarity from an interesting angle. a better title might it give it more zip. mag99

What does the title have to do with anything. I do not understand. Need to get in front of this guy closer to the ground. Would have more impact

Would have preferred a different viewpoint.

good shot, but I don't care for the angle much.

I don't really like the camera angle, but maybe that's just me... the setting does provide some impact though

Great perspective. Catching someone in their own environment without them knowing is interesting. I really like the stairs along the top. I wonder how this would have looked as a vertical shot. The leaves along the right are distracting. ~indi

Don't understand your title but love your picture. It speaks volumns. Love the overhead view. That makes the photo. Good focus. Good composition with great execution. Great human interest story. PTL9

There is just too much going on in this shot..chaos to my eyes!! I can't get the focus on the subject with this perspective view. Also it's a bit dark. Justine

Very well done.
