Comment by Faye Pekas:
This is hard to look at and yet it keeps drawing me. It screams its message and hurts my heart.

I think "Tweety Bird" on the little boys vest has the most emotional impact for me. It points out the reality that these are children... no different from my own grandchildren, but that life has handed them such a different road to travel.

Thanks for the awareness... 10, of course

This is a very very very good shot, if this would have been enetered in the Poverty challenge I guess it would have won a ribbon.
Everything in this photo works! Top pick! 10!

Comment by HBunch:
Very nice capture. Would have possibly worked well in the poverty challenge as well. It is very sad really. I don't like to see dirty children. Makes me think they are lonely. Focus and clarity are great, lighting is great, and I love the framing/cropping you chose. Nothing to complain about here. 10. ~Heather~
