This could be iconic. Almost frightening, an American Gothic for the C21. A ten, easy. he looks like a televangelist on his way to prison. The moon visible between their faces is a bonus.

Reminds me of American Gothic. Very proper, settled. Nicely balanced composition.

Thank you everyone for your comments! I felt really bad taking this picture without asking and wanted to give him some change for been such a still photographic model. He was sleeping though and I didn't want to wake him up.

P.S: I try and write crediting and critic comments whenever I view other peoples photos and like to get the same response back. (e.g; Pidd's comment about been too dark) it's sometimes hard to do this given the amount of photographs in the competitions but it's the only way I focus on taking a better shots and become a better photographer. I try and do my best and give the same out to other people as well.

(Sorry about that. It's just something I had on my shoulders after a DP user got really upset because I said that you should try and think about the shot before taking it). "A photo that just looked like a quick snap shot and entered into the last contest".

Originally posted by Pidd: This is a good interpretation of the theme but perhaps just a little too dark on your subject. I think that seeing the folds of the coat (and maybe the tatters if they are there) would create even more empathy for this pour soul. Your title evokes quite a bit of emotion.

Thanks for the comment.

No it was a can of beer. "His only friend", I walked straight passed this guy that morning, when I turned around I felt really sad but wanted to photograph him.
