Wow! There are so many details about the sign to give fullness to the character of the subject in this image. The posture and dirction of his eyes is a gret addition too.
Sadly this is happening more and more. In our own city, we are even building another Hotel for the Homeless to house over a thousand people. We are a fair sized city, but nothing the size of Seattle. I hope other people see this and makes them think about their own areas.
On the voting side I want to let you know this isn't a moral issue. I've read a lot on that lately. I'm voting a seven because of the contrast. We can barely see his black suit, it's blending too much. I understand that it was taken at night, but is there anything that could've helped?
I'm sorry if you think I'm wrong, but I am only learning myself. Perhaps this photo will become more than you know, by making people actually help people.
I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
Poor guy. Ok, well, although it is a good candid, the shot itself lacks for me in technicals. I hate to be one of those tech-maniacs who comment incessantly on the tiniest detail being off the cuff, but overall this photo is just too dark. It loses the translation in that darkness between man, sign, and feel. I gave it a 5 though, cause it was a capture that makes for a good candid.
