Wonderful shot. I see it's taken in Italy somewhere. It reminds me of a modern day version of the scenes one often sees depicted in the wall murals and paintings of Classical Rome. Images of lavish feasts with plenty of wine flowing and trays groaning under the weight of all the food. And somewhere in those images there's always the figure of some pauper or poor man to show the contrasts and contradictions of life. This is what this image evokes in me.
From a technical point of view I find the lighting and tones superb.
So many different things happening in this scene. All the elements are in the right place. The guy sitting outside of the luxury zone counting his pennies perhaps wishing that he could join the extravagant people on the terrace for a drink or something to eat. That white dog being patted also adds something special to the composition and is also a recurring image in the classical wall murals and paintings right down to it's particular pose.
Well done, lovely composition. A winner for me and I say that even though I have an entry in this challenge as well.
I give you full score 10. This is the only 10 I gave in this challenge by the way.

Love the woman petting the dog. Like the guy on the bench, too. But with them together in one photo it's hard to know where to focus my attention. Maybe better cropped into two separate photos? Hard to say. Still, you did a good job on this.

Wow, very nicely done, very emotive, love the comparison going on here, also the dog adds a ton to the shot for me, everyone seems so happy there on the left, and it looks like the guy on the right is trying to scrounge together the money. You nailed the essence of "street photography" to me here. 9 from me.

Just came back to bump this one up, my one and only 10 for the challenge. This tells a great story, it is representative of all that, IMHO, street photography should be. I hope to see it on the front page.
