I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

I thought I would see a lot of homeless captures, however, although there are, this one is one of the better compositions. I also love the tones you used. It is a style of my own to use sepias and b/w's. I like the cropping done here. The clarity is nice. The shoes off and neatly placed gives nice interest. It's a good 7 photo for me. A 7 is one of the higher scores I have given after seeing the entries in this challenge. Nicely done.

I like the black space above and the plant is perfectly illuminated, no harsh highlights and very good shaows that give textures substence to the plant.
