Quickly snapped while walking under the freeway. I liked the detail in the trash in the foreground, so I kept it. Slightly cropped and level adjusted.

I was very much in two minds about leaving the light flare, but decided to keep it because I wanted to emphasize the harsh aspect of the image. Also, I wanted the composition to put more emphasis on the trash than the tents.

There is a UPS building off to the left with a very bright display screen showing the US flag on a regular basis; I really wanted to get it, but just couldn't get everything to line up.

a fine idea. the trash in the foreground and the brightness of the light on the left are very distracting; the 'home', I'm thinking, gets lost in these two elements; too much street; I love the colors though. this is near Potrero Hill in SF, isn't it?

The trash in the foreground is great, but the light and the lens flare are distracting.

Nice statement.. Well thought out..

cool pic but i would get closer to the tent. at first it's hard to tell that's what the picture is of.

Great shot, and nice perspective.

Do you have any room? I don't take up much space! Nice shot, inventive!

Great reality picture

Good shot, the coloring and subject are great. Decent composition, but I would have straightened out the horizon. The low angle is nice and that piece of plastic on the ground is a nice touch, can't decide if it's plastic, a smushed can, or a used condom, but it does add to the picture. The tent is just in the right spot.

I like what you are showing here, but the curb being crooked throws it off for me. If the curb had been placed in the lower third of the photo, I think the crookedness would have worked better.(You could have kicked that garbage up a little!)

too much going on. everything has a yellow/orange tint to it

the light on the side is very distracting

Ouch! Harsh light. Good subject though.

Looks like frisco.
