Ha! This is hilarious. I love dogs, and I love your high key photo. I'm sure some will complain that the nose it out of focus, but I believe it adds to the viewer's focus on the eyes. It's like the nose is meant to be blurry precisely because the dog is right in your face! Well done, I'm gonna go show my wife. 9. (I always give out one ten per challenge after I've voted them all, this is good enough to be it, so perhaps a 10...) P.S. - A well chosen title.

Great idea, but not a very crisp picture.

Haha, it sure is. Unfortunately, it makes for an ugly photo.

No interpretation needed, he is old and poor!

The people in the background, while useful for context, are distracting to the actual subject of the photo. This is well captured however, and i like it better than many others i have seen so far.

Good use of noise. Very good. It rarely works for a photo (at least for me) but I like the feel it gives this forboding scene.

Poverty among the wealthy

The lighting seems a little flat. And is that a poor grape? I don't get it.

"Poverty in Black and White"

I didn't get the point of this photo for a minute or two. Newspaper as toilet paper? If so, I don't think this image conveys that message clearly enough. It takes a moment of looking to notice that the newpaper is torn into sheets. (at least for me) Also, given the composition, my eye is drawn to the dark corner in the floor.

I can't tell what is in this photo other than the pennies.

The Mission

The skewed angle doesn't work for me. And rather than look impoverished, this building just looks old. Still, a good effort was obviously put into this photo.

ASSET RICH (waterfront property) but INCOME POOR (can't afford renovation)

This has an overexposed look to it. The sky is blown out and the shadows are all harsh. The places my eyes are drawn to are drenched in blude shadows. I know you can't do much about the position of the sun, except maybe come back at a different time of day.
