Several weeks ago, I saw a guy living underneath this beach walkway. I didn't have my camera at the time...but I came back a couple days ago and took a picture. He may live in poverty...but his "home" is right next to the beach!

This shot has an interesting composition, good focus, and nice lighting (although a polarizer might help bring out the blue in the sky). If it were in a different challenge, it would probably do fine...but in the Poverty challenge, I agree with some of the previous commenters that it's just difficult to discern the poverty aspect without knowing the story behind the photo. I think that having the person actually being in the shot would make a huge difference.
All that being said, I think the shot is an interesting landscape study with both positive attributes and points upon which improvements can be made. Have fun and keep shooting! :o)
