I'd been walking through a park where there are alot of homeless hoping to get a chance to take a couple shots but this guy and his brother came right up to me and said "Give me a picture!". I got it printed and took it to him at one of the shelters. Biggest grin I've ever seen.
I couldn't/wouldn't clone out the teeth and bits of food around his mouth. They tell too much of the story.

maybe it's just me, but i feel maybe too much dodging on the teeth? i understand what you were going for though. maybe adjusting the channel mixer to remove some of the harsh yellow?
* take into account, i'm not an expert.. mainly just speaking from what i'm looking at *
* do with it what you will!*
nice detail on the face though.
man look at those teeth! They almost look like the ones of the camel I just voted on hahahaa. Good portrait. Was he looking that way cause you asked? or he didnt want to have his picture taken?
I've never been a fan of homeless shots...sorry, just a personal preference...however, you've captured an interesting expression here...a very tight crop of his face and a b+w conversion might be something interesting to try
