Good message construction. I thought maybe an empty milk carton and a last slice of bread would be more impactful than the dishes, but a good photo.

Very clever way to depict "Poverty" without the stereotype image of a homeless person. I like the attention to detail in the chipped plate and the rather basic and grotty looking cutlery. Well done!

i've been there before... I don't care for the blue on the butter knife tip. I also wan't to read the bill.. the writing is pulling me away from the overall picture.

I find those colors too bright for your idea. What you see is colors not meaning... i would used sepia or some less distracting toning.

Great picture. I really like the pink of the disconnection notice and the idea works really well to illustrate the subject. I hope it`s not your notice though ....

I like the message here, and it certainly meets the challenge. I'm not crazy about the compositon though, not that I have suggestions for you to do it differently

Whoevers bill that is, they have my last name. Hope it is not mine. I like this use of chipped plate with dirty silver ware. I give you a 6.
