Post card colors and focus. Clock is a little hard to really see, but do know it is there. A very busy photo but doesn't really hurt it much. Good job.

Thanks to all for the votes and the comments.

First, I would like to say that this shot was not staged. As I state in my Photographer's Comments, I stumbled onto this kid while looking for my "Urban" submission. I thought this shot would be interesting since his panhandling cup was out of the ordinary being tied to the end of a stick.

I thought it was neat, although I felt sad that he had to do this to get by. I feel sorry for all these young adults that have to live in the streets, either on the short or long term, because they feel thay do not have anywhere to go. A true nightmare for those who live like this day-in, day-out...

So. It wasn't a prop? Hope he got lots of money that day. Boy. I feel bad. Poor kid. Did you ask him why he did his cup up that way? I would think it could be swiped too easily, sticking out there like that.

Nice shot - The Citadel. I was just there in August. Like how you included the bus, it shows activity. Nice colors. Good job.

Gread sharpness, dof, and good composition. The idea behind the shot is something I can really identify with. Well done.

Good and clear and colors are very good. My one suggestion would be to try to have shot this without the people in the picture (They distract from the quality)
Early morning before they arrive is a good time maybe.
