LR5. Nothing special. And not my best. But good enough for this challenge to earn a 5.5 or more.
It tanked and not deserving to. What a bummer. Have you noticed this homeless man's expression, the emptiness of his soul? Have you noticed the frame? This is street photography few obviously has the guts to get into and understand.

i didn't find this image so bad as other; i find it a little heavy on the processing of the skin, but that's not a huge deterrant.
i guess that, like me, your image just hid in the pile of gems better than some others.
This reminds me of another one of your portraits you titled "The Eccentric" which has always been one of my favorites.
The difference in this current portrait is the despair... This man does not seem to see a future beyond his existence today. I think it is an amazing capture.
Hello, just wanted to be honest I gave you a 6, I didn't even notice he was homeless to tell the truth, I didn't look at his glasses long enough to see, so I guess the 1 second voters wouldn't of had enough time as well, also the PP was a little over done, his skin looks very smooth IMHO!
