Not many would find this interesting - but I think that this is an excellent capture of street photography. The main subject shows age and weariness in his face and eyes. This homeless santa does not entertain children on his lap - instead his faithful companion sits upon his lap offering comfort and companionship. The lighting and hues are also good that your eyes are captured by all the textures and rich hues in an otherwise stereotypically imagined scene of dreary dinginess. Great capture!!!

Very interested in the details of post-processing used here (step by step)! You should do a tutorial.

The depth of that man's face is haunting. I like the deep tones of red and blue. His beard seems to meld with the dog's coat. Excellent urban shot.
