I know this isn't going to be what people think of as poverty, and it's going to do badly, but there is more to poverty than the most common interpretation(s) of it. I don't have any ragged, poor looking people in this, and I know most of you will not be touched by it, but this is a view that many of us face every day, and the majority of people are more than willing to overlook and ignore it. This is a true look at the forgotten class of Americans - those who try to survive on their own, constantly struggling to keep up with the bills and the ever-rising costs of living, ignored by most government programs and grouped as lazy by society, despite continuous hard work.
Editing: Resized, cropped, curves, levels, hue/saturation, sharpening. |

| It's a good picture, but the sky is so white that it kinda bothers me. |

| Like the concept in the title, but having a middle-class person walking around, through or out of the photo would have been a nice touch. |

| Very good picture, however one thing that keeps bothering me is the Satellite Dish on the roof... Makes me think of Laziness not Poverty... hmmm which one... got the dish but now no time to fix the place up, other than that, great picture. |
