Inspired by some of the photos in the why? challenge to put more social action into my photos. Here is an attempt at that. These are my friends Justin, and David, with David in the suit. Im trying to show how negative the space is between the rich and poor.
Post Challenge:
This was almost a personal best for me (my score dropped 0.14 on rollover due to people scoring me high voting on less than 20%).
But, I will still treat it as a personal best because of the comments that I have received. I am truly flattered by the comments, and thank the commenters very much. Especially shannylee13, and JPR, both of them are previous ribbon winners, and their comments were particularly flattering to me.

This is an awesome shot for a lot of different reasons. I do have to echo one of the sentiments voiced below and say that the title detracts from the viewers perception of the image, but only because that concept is communicated so well visually. I also can't believe this doesn't have any faves, so allow me to be your first.
Excellent composition and use of ns. (Agree could use more contrast/definition, and title was overdone, but the strength of the combined elements kind of overwhelms these niggles). Postures of your models dead on.
ahh man i'm sorry to see that a bunch of water droplet on flower pictures scored higher than this. this should've been on the front page! i posted it as one of my favorites from the challenge on this thread . well done, my friend!
You know - this is funny. I cannot believe I am about to write the following because I cringed when someone did it to me. But now I actually understand. I would have just gone with a simple title and let the viewer decide what kinds of gaps could be created here. Before I read your title, I saw the visual gap between the men and then I looked at the two men. My first thought was actually about job status. Like the working man on the right and what - a student or homeless person on the left? A very cool photo with lots to look at. Nice!
Was it on a hill? Something doesn't line up. I see that the horizon's dead on, but there's something telling my eyes it's off. Maybe it's the shadow in the center bottom.
