About the shot, maybe at a different time of the day could be better... too bright for my taste. Good luck in the challenge
i really like the "half in and half out of the light" effect. the fade across the image from light to dark does wonders for the reading and overall reinforces the message of the shot.
I hope you paid him for the photograph, he looks as if he needs the money. If this is where he lives, it is a sad reflection on society. Good, but sad shot.
