I think this is a great photojournalistic image. It tells a story on its own without the need for written text. This looks like a situation of 'urban blight' to me from your image. We don't have a large number of noticeably homeless people in my community, so I don't really get to see first hand how they do live and behave.
This image could definitely be seen on the front page of a newspaper for support of a detailed article describing the situation.
I'm taking a slightly different approach to my critique on this image. The technical issues that I normally discuss don't really apply here. You have met the challenge with a very interesting photo. Whatever time of day you chose to take this shot was a good one... there is no direct sunlight that is blasting away at your colors and the deatail of the image is fine...
Up to 250 of the poorest people in our society have lived on the sidewalk outside an abandoned building for some many weeks now. They were a central feature of the local mayoral elections, which were swept by left-wing activists
I like the title and photo. Go together real well. But I think B&W would have added drama to this shot. Maybe lighten it up a little and lighten the contrast some. Good composition though with nice subject. Very much where it's at today. Maybe try a B&W and just see. Just a thought and only my opinion. But good photo. PTL7 Feel B&W would have added a couple of points for me.
holy cow. that is so weird. gotta find out where this is. i see a doves poster so i wanna go there already. kudos for bringing me this bizarre scene :) mag99
A lot of strong diagonals in this shot! The foreground seems a little overexposed, but that kind of thing is common to photojournalism... Definitely on target for the challenge in a week when so many weren't... Nice catch! ~ MyQyl ~
Is this Woodwards' in Vancouver? I think this picture captures the photojournalism aspect of this weeks challenge very well. It makes me want to know the story!
