Image wise, I think this was technically very good, and I'm not sure what critique I can add. I think the dof choice works well, and the down on the ground perspective is effective. Compositionally, perhaps this might have been different and more punchy as a landscape format, perhaps showing the entire legs and a bit more of the background. The water bottle is an anchoring point I think, and it being in the middle of the frame (horizontally, not vertically) seems a bit heavy. Subject matter is an important one, and yes, I feel this image does speak to some extent about it.
On its placing in the challenge, well, I'm not surprised, as this is not the typical DPC pretty image. Kudos to you, I think, for submitting this.
Such a sad picture, a too often seen situation in our world. You have captured this moment perfectly and stirred emotion in me. The focus and sharpness on the mans face is just right. I would not change a thing, bumping up to a well deserved 10.
I like this picture, but the foreground object looks too much like a water bottle and thus doesn't quite fit the scene. Had it been a liquor bottle, I would have left it in, otherwise I may have cropped differently or removed it. 7
