My family and I went out today for a bit to eat while driving home I saw this homeless man park his buggy (home) next to the curb of a 5 lane road and walk slowly up the hill towards the drive thru of a restaurant. I pulled over across the street and watched as he politely waited for the drive-thru to be clear and then knocked on the window. A worker their listens for a second then left the window open and stepped out of view. A few minutes latter she returned to the window with a meal and two large cups of water. The man politely nodded as he turned away and walked back to his buggy. He sat down on the curb of this busy road and began to eat and drink from a meal given to him in a time of need. I could not help but take my camera out and take a few pictures after all I was parked on the other side of the 5 lane road. Using a 12x (420mm) lens I was able to get this picture between cars. I cropped and used saturation to emphasize him as the subject.
Thought I would share this picture and story.

Maybe it's just me but the selective desaturation actually takes the attention away from him which is a shame because it looks like a great pic.
Could we see the non desaturated version?

This one is just cropped without the desaturation.

Nice story. There are loads of good people on the planet.

I agree with the desaturation comments ... let's see the original.
