he seems like the least stress-ful person in the scene. nice capture!

Back to comment: Sorry, an image of what looks like a homeless person doesn't convey Simple Pleasure to me. Even if he isn't homeless, he looks like he could be. Your image suffers from a couple of technical issues as well. First, the person on the left edge of the image should be cropped out. Second, the statue looks tilted to the left. Third, your black and white conversion looks flat and could use more contrast.

Too busy, and I think the BW doesn't really benefit the pic.

Better framing could have improved this I think, such as completely cropping the person to the left and the bird at the bottom.

Now that is a sound sleeper, are you sure he was alive? Interesting photo there is a lot going on. One suggestion would be to crop the rest of the person on the left with the bag out of the frame. Good stuff thanks.

IMO, there is to much going on in this picture.

A little more cropping would have helped. What is that object on the lower left side of the image?
