Your photo is well composed and very moving. I saw too much of this during the years I lived and worked in NYC. I understand the people who are just walking by. It's terrible that we become so hardened to this sort of suffering. This image says a lot.
Chris,
I gave this a 7 when voting. I thought it was very well composed, especially for street (my favorite type of photography, but very difficult, I know). Obviously, it was the lack of focus that kept me from scoring it higher. You didn't miss on the emotive or message, though, and thus it is a strong photo in my opinion even with the slight blur. Great job.
The title combined with the photograph is very compelling. I know taking photographs on the street like this is difficult but you should do more of it.
I almost passed this over and gave it a 5, thinking "just another homeless shot," but then I realized how perfect the composition is. The man is truly isolated in the middle of all this clamor. 8
Technicals: very soft. Conversion to B&W is below average. There needs to be more contrast and the exposure is probably overexposed overall.
Feel: Does capture the isolation of the homeless well. The backs of the passers-by helps with that. Death? Not without the title.
Score: 4
