Sad isn't it. Nice capture. I would like to see a crop that left him on a thrids line and a bit of neutral out to the right

Great Photo. Nice balance. I like the that it is a little underexposed, the shadow creates great negative highlight. Very photo-journalistic.

Great subject. Why didn't you make it bigger?

Please use possible size. A properly chosen border will help keeping the effect of "boxing" him in a small portion of space. The fading view of that corridor adds a lot.

i really love the composition of this, maybe a slightly different crop showing more space to the right of the man?, but still, you have captured the expression perfectly and set a great mood for the picture. well done

Wonderful take on City LIfe! I wonder what his story is. Would be interesting to find out, huh? Nice clean clear crip image. Love it black and white.

I think it might have been nice if you'd gotten down on the floor with him; it would have made the picture more personable. Also, larger images are easier to judge. Good try, though.

whats the context? pull out more and let's see what this gent's situation is. are there people walking right by him and ignoring this man? is he all alone in the city? i think this shot would be made more interesting if we could see what's happening around this man.

I like this photo but wish the crop wasn't so tight, so more of the surroundings were visible.

Good work - it's a good black+white shot, somewhat similar to what I originally planned to take. The composition and angles is a little awkward but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing for this photo, and it definitely has the feel of a person walking by looking down. Good work.

great composition. the money bucket standing up like hope and mirroring the left leg, which juts out into the receding space.
