 A man who in essence has no trade. His trade is his own survival. Living day by day. So he collects aluminum cans.

I gave this shot a pretty good rating because I like y our choice of black and white and the light sepia/yellow tone. It's perfect for the shot. This would be a much stronger photo without the border (the wide sides are a distraction for me) and the really blown out highlights in the background.

I think depth of field distracts and detracts

Humbling. Good capture of this poor man. I'm not sure that I like the sepia tone in this picture. I think B&W would have been better

The foreground is well shot - the background seems a tad too bright. Maybe crop down to right above his hat. Still a good use of sepia. Great urban shot. 7

I like the subject, although it's a bit of a stretch. Good pic though, so I'm going to go with it...

The border is kind of distracting because it isn't symmetrical with the photo, but I really like the photo! Hopefully that border won't hurt you too much - 7 from me!
