great shot .. I wonder how it would look if you hadn't cropped out the rest of his left foot and the rest of the sign. (9)

Poetry and photography.... what a match!!! Black and white is so much more poignant than a color shot - particularly of this scenario. I like it very much.

Touching. Reminds one of the risks that a youth just starting out faces (no matter the educational background.) B&W works well for the photo, but, I think the sleeves might be just a little overexposed. Good luck in the challenge, as this is a powerful shot with a message.

Interesting twist to pan handling. I like the B & W

Nicely done...like the sign and the money in the cap is a nice touch. I do have to add that IMHO it looks set-up, in that the box he's sitting on is clean and the clothing is also clean and neatly pressed. The shoes only have minor scuffing. I could be all wrong and you could have found a decently-dressed, clean, neat homeless kid. Anyway, it's a well-executed idea, could have a bit more impact if he were more "weathered." :o)

Good shot. One of my favourites in the challenge.
Tells a story. Good mood set by the expression on the model's face.

What a powerful message he has written - very emotional image that really shows the emotions that can be conveyed in the written word.

Good study - model looks quite well dressed though. Good echo of the kind of scene which is played out throughout every major city.
