Initial: We've all seen this scene too many times, and have acted the same in as this as well. This is emotive; guilt feelings, sadness, pity, etc.
Composition: The scene composed itself. The subject.. the man sitting on the bench, is oblivious to the others and his surroundings. He seems used to being ignored. (how sad). Perfect timing to get the man to be giving that curious yet judgemental look, and to get the woman walking swifly past... almost urgently to get away from the area, and the guilt. Her eyes are cast down. She does't want to see it.
Colors & Quality: I think this would be stronger in Black & White. The brownish/sepia tone gives a classic/timeless look, where as the black and white would give it more of a dramatic/harsh feeling which goes with the mood of the photo. The focus/clarity could be a bit better, but otherwise, I would not change anything.
Nice composition. I like the fact that the woman in the foreground is blurred, it conveys her lack of care even more, perhaps it's a little too tightly cropped to the bottom of her feet. Nice tones and clarity.
Well told story! Great shot! The blur on the woman in the foreground really adds to the story! She wants to make tracks away from the gentleman on the bench and you showed that exceptionally well... ~ Myqyl ~
Wow, what a shot. Carries a lot of emotion. Definitely meets the challenge. Is this desaturated? If so, it works very well. I like your composition, with the older man seeming to look at the guy on the bench and the woman looking like she is getting by him as quickly as possible without having to actually see him. Very nice work. lhall
Wooooooo... I love this one! Only one little thing... I wouldn't the man sitting in the centre. But your DOF is great ad you respect the theme. 9 kosmik

Autool IMO the relationship between the title and picture are key elements in this challenge. We probably cared last week. Good job.
