I really like the composition of this shot, I think I would've cropped out that pole on the right, but that's just me. One of my favorites for the challenge, good luck!

Great contrast from the person to the store. Maybe a little less sidewalk would a tighter composition?

Nice job of capturing the essence of the plight of the homeless. Really like the dynamic range you were able to obtain.

Great shot, perspective, B&W. I like the crop, but wish that the pipe to his right was gone (just a personal picky thing). Great shot!

I don't get the shoes.. Other than that its an overall nice photo.. A little weak in the poverty area.. but then again it might be because I don't get the shoes...

Not bad but I'm not sure the display window is actually helping the composition that much. What was to his left?

This looks good, best choice was to use B&W, but I find the shop window somewhat distracting, especially as your subject looks like he has just bought his trainers there. The composition is very good and focus looks spot on. Good Luck.

Very realistic
I like how you didn't have him centered in the photo.
By shooting from a distance he looks small and insignificant, which is how society prefers their poor, it makes them so much easier to ignore.

I think you could have zoomed in a little more to take away the store window, it is a little distracting. I score this a 6.

I really enjoy this picture. I like how the lines lead to the subject, but how insignificant in scale he is. The only flaw is his bright white shoes.
