This looks a little soft and odd. Almost a postcard shot that happens to have a boy in the foreground. A good shot except for that fuzziness in some spots, but it does not convey poverty to me.

He doesn't look "poor". More like a lost child or just taking a break. Love the colors.

A well caught and composed image. The boys face and body position is interesting and almost conveyed a destitute feel, but I felt that i relied on your title too much.

Ah, yes, the Opera House is just to your right. Nice picture and beautiful scene and city, but the kid doesn't convince me he's in poverty.

It doesn't really say "poverty" to me. This could be just as well be your own kid...

Very pretty image, but not real convincing, sorry. I live in Sydney and I haven't seen any street kids lately, particularly ones dressed so well :)

A bit too much photoshop for me

I don't think your post processing supports the picture. I'm guessing but it looks like you used too much noise reduction.

Also, the street kid is barely in the photo. The beautiful view is overwhelmingly nice, but it doesn't add to an impoverished feel. Although it is a sad situation I think it could have been captured better without worrying so much about the scenery.

This looks to me like a boy sitting on a sidewalk, but somehow poverty is not implied. I'm also not fond of the processing done to this one.
