Robbed... this was one of my favourite images in this challenge... dare to be different I say... though, speaking from experience, the wowsers here at DPC tend to not appreciate something that's different in a disturbing way.

Based on my voting on this challenge, you would have got an HM at the very least.

Hey Hotpasta... this is the same homeless guy that's in your Tunnel & Caves photo :) ... though, if I'm wrong about that one being a hotpasta shot, then I'll be wrong about this one too... guess I'll have to wait and see when voting finished.

But to this photo. A great photo that doesn't follow the DPC friendly template. Details are excellent, but perhaps bordering on too much detail (especially the grime on the wall) and it becomes destracting. And while the items in the bottom left help paint the picture/tell the story of homelessness, they're also more a distraction that pull the viewer from the main subject. Don't get me wrong, *I* like this photo, but I'll be surprised if it reaches the dizzy heights of most hostpasta challenge entries (score wise at least).

Oh... the angel with the flower now has a lollipop, and he's no angel anymore. Love the expression on his face. Alternate title "Honey, look what I picked up at the liquor shop". :)

And are these paid actors there for the benefit of the tourists, or do locals actually go about looking like this?

Nice photo... great colour and composition.

Here, Dad. Have a weed.

Beautiful. Gotta love the innocence and generosity of young children. We're forever getting "flowers" from the younger kids, be they weeds or plucked from someones well manicured garden... perhaps it's our insistence they they not pick from peoples gardens that sees them stop picking flowers for us when they get a little older :(

Enjoy such simple pleasures while they last.

This is a wonderful triptych. My kids love to take photos... and I'm amazed at how well they can do it from such an early age... cheap digital would be a great investment.

P.A.R.T.Y!

Why?!

Because I've got this feather boa around my head and it'll just look silly if I'm not partying. ;)

Such a beautiful bird, and you've captured him so beautifully in these two shots.

This is a great photo... composition and detail is DPC challenge quality... but then... it is a roz photo whose standard for challenge photo are probably higher than mine...

I wish that I could take challenge photos as good as your "snapshots" :)

I love this image... the minimalism is beautiful. The colour and composition is superb, especially the use of the leading lines. Predicting this will ribbon.
