Nice composition, good exposure, but too much sharpness or Topaz or something...

Comment by AbeSapien2:
This is a superb political commentary on many levels and quite sad because it is now so commonplace and true. The black and white tones fit this perfectly because they are opposite absolutes. This is obviously a view of somewhere which shares great wealth as evidenced by the central background building and reflections behind the shelter, but the tired soul seeking respite is not a part of that, nor do they see or celebrate the decoration meant to enliven the holidays around the lamp, which in the greater scheme now feels awkward and out of place. The phantom watchers in the background enhance this but the main subject is unaware, isolated, alone. We are our Brother's Keeper and what we do about such things defines us in a greater sense. A good eye and a compassionate heart to recognise and capture this.
