How could I leave this one un-commented? (I have only my photo book to blame for that, can I hide behind it?)
Excellent capture of one of those animals, who look so graceful even if they are just being lazy! LOL

This was one of my favorites in the challenge, and without even knowing it was yours!
It is such a powerful image! The grain works so great here, and so is the b&w.
I admit I didn't quite get the title, as I never thought they were homeless, but still... something in this picture pulled me right into it.
Originally, I gave it a 9. Only one very little thing I would try to change: I would try to burn very little the highlights above the guy's shoulder. I thought it took more attention then it should, and almost made me miss that amazing ray of light on the guy's cheek.

Something in this process make it look like a pencil sketch.
Can I add this photo to my favorites one more time?
