 This is totally not my style at all, so we'll see how it fares. Add to that the guess that I'm betting most voters will want a lot of negative space, which this photo arguably doesn't have, and you have a recipe for the unknown.

Tis may look like a street photo of chance, but actually it was pre thought out, and the person is me. I actually did see this setup live a few months ago, but it would be impossible to actually catch this with a stranger due to the layout (fences getting in the way). This is my best interpretation of that scene, minus the sunshine that added a cool shadow.

He almost looks pasted in to the scene, yet I like it.

I like the concept of a homeless guy also not getting a tent.
