To me, this feels very much like a matter of fact portrayal, an unfortunate summation of him as "homeless." These sorts of shots feel much fuller, better, and humanizing when they become a character study. It seems like you talked to him a bit, and I feel little of his "himness" was captured here. I'd like to see more of a depiction of him, not a shot that seems like it could just as easily have been had lurking off in the distance with a super-tele. Humanizing the subject brings their plight more acutely, but this feels colder. |

Good picture. In my view, it would do better without such a heavy border/frame. |
