This is a classic mix of beauty and sad situation. How can people be in a situation like this, and we take such a beautiful shot of them?
Makes me want to get him out of there, haircut, off the cigarettes, help get a job, a wife, a life, a bright outlook, and happiness. It takes time and commitment to do that though, and I have always been too selfish to do it.
This photo makes me want to be a better neighbour, person, and friend
Congratulations - that is not an easy thing to do! You look like you care about this man. I guess you may not have been kidding about the Ghetto comment on the reflecting flower shot!

CONGRADULATIONS OWAIN !!!!!!!!.. I just can't say enough about your photography during the DPL... You have turned in one amazing image after another.. Well done.
Great composition and capture. To me, the background bricks look like those you would find in an expensive highrise, and that just emphasizes his position even more.
The glow around the body is weird and is trying to make the image more than it is...if it is processing, I think it detracts from the photo. Otherwise ok photo.
Excellent shot. One my favorites in the challenge. You got him at just he right time to show us his troubled spirit. And the background is perfect to really make him stand out.
Great shot. Good composition and a great subject for this Candid Challenge. Image clarity it pure and crisp and there are so many things that this image portrays that tells a story about the subject. 9
