Life on a river

Nice colors in this picture. Nice dov and focus. You can see by the way the house boat looks that they live a hard life on the river. Looks like they survive day to day by fishing. Nice reflection on the still waters as well.

This looks more of a Halloween picture than a true picture on poverty. Kids that run away from home don't dress or look this way anymore. To me this would have been more approtiate for a Halloween contest. You have nice sharp focus on the person and nice colors in the leaves in the backround.

What contrasts. The advertisement for Charles Schwab and the homeless man on a bench. I like that you showed some of his personel belonging on the right side of the picture frame. the mans posture show it all. He is totally dejected and lost. What a contrast of life.

Poverty? I just don't see it.

Contrasts. The woman on the looks homeless and hungry. The lady on the street has some pizza. I think you should not have cut the lady on the right off in the middle. She accually looks more of a distraction. This would have been a stronger picture with just the lady on the left. I put a piece of paper covering the person on the right and cropped her out. This accually made for a stronger picture. Your sole attention would have been on the homeless person. Try it out when you get the chance.

Nice capture. the use of B&W works well here. I like the focus on the man with the bike. Nice details in his face and clothes. The blurring in the backround keeps my attention on the subject.

Interesting. Nice composition. I like the details in the face and hat. Cold weather trying to eat and stay warm. This looks like a good picture to show poverty. Homeless and eating out of a can of cat food. This picture makes for a good documentry picture.

This picture is a great close up portrait for his face. In your description you mention he is Wheelchair bound. I would have liked to see the wheelchair and a longer picture and some type of backround. Something to show his disabliity. I like the lighting and compostition of his face. You can see some glimps into his characture.
