Beautiful bed of leaves in a beautiful grove of trees. Good catch.

The 91 degree angle orientation is ... interesting. It took a few seconds to figure it out. I would have liked normal orientation better.

Very nice picture, but I think you sharpened it far too much as indicated by the unnatural texture of the beard and skin but mostly the white fringe around the hoodie.

Jamie ( PhotoInterest), is that you? Great shot and beautiful eyes! Your right eye is out of focus, and it would look wonderful fully in focus. Your left eye is in focus but isn't the highlight of this shot. OK, sue me for getting too technical. My PM comment still stands. ;-)

Everything centralizes on the intense look in the eye. I don't know what to think of the red, but this makes a major impact.

or a lead role in a cage. Excellent civil war picture and Pink Floyd tie-in.

This looks like an outtake from Brothers Grimm and Cinderella. If so this would have done great in that challenge. The only problem I see with it arethe eyes are not looking at the camera. Otherwise it's a wonderful shot!

I think you did get comments from some scoring under 4, based on score from commenters being more than .3 less than avg score. Personally I scored it a 6 and no higher for the same reasons as other comments. It's a nice picture but this guy doesn't look in poverty and it appears you're trying to shoehorn it in with the title. That rod, (walker?) chair and clothing don't look cheap. The picture looks noisy, but it's probably just the actual textures of the scene.

Great shot, but I think it would be better with wider aperture and smaller DOF to put the guy getting into the car out of focus.
