Wow, not a lot I can say to improve on this one, so I guess I'll just say what I think went "right."
Compositionally, it is very well balanced. The large face of the women dominates the shot, but does not overwhelm the subject which contrasts in so many ways -- size, confidence, shape, sex, etc.
Technically, it is very well focused (which always helps) and the exposure is very good too. The bw works very well here and you have a good range in tones, as well.
Emotionally, I think it connected with a lot of the viewers simply because we can relate with the dejectedness that the guy shows (at some point in our lives).
Excellent shot and congrats on the ribbon.

this shot is cool.
although i like "Whatever you do, look away Jack" more. may be because it has the complete face of the model and eye-contact with other subjects too. |

Congratulations on your ribbon. This was my "best in show." I'm pleased to learn you photographed people as they walked by, I suspected it was a true candid but also realized it could have been staged. |

The contrast to me is glamour versus reality. His downtrodden look emphasizes this well. |
