Little soapy... B/W would do better justice to the scene, although colors are good by themselves. They give illusion of hope which I see none in the circumstances.

great entry for "hope". i had a similar idea in the beginning, but decided to do something else at the end. your subject reveals a lot of emotion, nice composition and execution. definitely one of my higher rated photographs in this challenge.
a multi-colored begger what a crazy outfit going on there .. lol .. this is pretty cool, the blue up top is a bit distracting .. and for this type of subject I think the lighting could be a bit more dramatic .. moody ..
