I think alot of those people could find a job if they wern't busy walking the streets with signs pleading for help. I saw a 20/20 on abc once that clamed these people made upwards of $40,000 a year roaming the steets with signs like the one in this picture. 20/20 Told 10 homeless people with signs that they could come do some work and earn some money. All 10 agreed. Only 1 out of those 10 people came to do the job. They paid the one man who showed up and never heard from the other 9.

this is a great "found" photo opportunity, and I think if you could have zoomed in closer to the sign-holder, it would have been even better

Would have liked this better if the person had been closer. Maybe a tighter crop?

like the concept - would like more if we could see the face and read the sign ourselves.

I would like to have seen the focus on the person carrying the sign.

Subject seems a little far away. Better if you could read the sign. Pretty good shot though.

i would have focused tighter on the subject so you can read the sign and still show the traffic and determination in her expression...the uncertainty of what the passerbys might be thinking...

an idea that just misses a little I think the figure should be more prominant.
