This photo is true to the old adage, that a picture says a thousand words. Your image provides a sad commentary on some down and out people of our society.
The black and white style gives it a gritty and realistic feel. The position of the man in relation to the cars also sends a message. Its almost like life is passing him by. Like he is boxed into a corner. That the only thing left for him is to beg. And the only thing he has to communicate with, is this old worn out sarcastic sign. He in turn has a wry smile and has turn society off, with his demeanor and his earphones.
Again great capture and shooting style. I believe this photo would appeal to most voters, but there would be some that can not relate to it. Good job, and good luck in your next DP Challenge.

| Is is really honesty that we are reacting to? I think we all react when someone asks you for your money, whether you believe they need it or not, or for whatever reason. I don't believe it is honesty that prevents people from dropping some coins, it's the confrontation and the apprehension of people that are perceived a bit unpredictable. But this is just speculation on my part. Asside from that, a mutual friend showed me some of your photos here (socalmotocross a hint?). I like this photo. It has nice textures; deep blacks with the motion in the background. Even the pickup truck's shiny, expensive rim contrasts the beggar. |

| Once again a reality shot. The reality of life for some. What we take for granted and life as it is. Amazing what a sharpie can do. Well done. |

nice captue
the only nag I have is that the main focus is the sign, not the man, who looks like an interesting character |

Truth in advertising?
Good portrayal of something so often seen, but with a twist.
Great use of motion blur to compliment the shot. (7) |

| Oh, that is soooo good. I'd love to meet this guy and shoot him sometime myself (with my camera, that is). Great real life candid. I love the inclusion of the cars zooming by. This shot has such great reality and makes me ask questions of what I see. Perfectly done. |

I'd give the guy a few bucks just for the chance to ask him whether his honesty got him more money than a more typical "help a Vietnam vet" type sign.
I think that the blurry cars in the background, while a bit more distracting than I'd like, do help to emphasize his separation from the rest of the city dwellers. |
