A homeless "colony" in the park across my office building on S. Michigan Ave. and Balbo in Chicago. This gathering in this location is a relatively new phenomenon. Taken from the window of my office on the 14th floor.
Just tweaked saturation, contrast and levels then USM before saving to web.

Great concept, however, the "looking down" point of view on these people is slightly disturbing, not sure if it was intentional or not. I would have liked to see either a closeup of these people or a closer group shot on a better angle, still a good concept. 5, mike
The evidence of poverty is sketchy, and the great distance feels too.... safe. Getting closer to your subjects would increase the emotional involvement.
