Farm workers cashing paychecks at one of the few places in town where they can, as most of them have no bank account. Shot while moving to not disturb the scene. Many of them are camera shy due to recent immigration enforcement activity.
Immokalee Florida, N 1st st.
Thanks everyone for having a look, and for the comments and suggestions.

A little slice of American life from the viewpoint of the newly arrived. Very moving.

I feel you could have made more of this picture if you got closer.

An interesting scene but IMO you're a little too far from the action. 5

I know that images for this challenge don't have to be in black and white but I can't help but think how much more impact this image would have if it were...similar to this image by Margaret Bourke-White (Louisville flood victims). I also think a tighter crop would help with the distracting background items, a could see a panoramic style working here, emphasising the line and less of the other stuff.
