Like this. Colours, blur and grain. And it speaks. (You got hammered. What else is new...).

Blurry, grainy, poorly composed, but also very thought provoking and a very out of the box street photography take on this subject.

a little more focus would have helped here and a lower ISo

its a good candid - shame its not quite sharp - 6

Nice idea. It's very noisy though, and needs better focus. It's a very appropriate subject matter though, at a time of gratitude for whatever you have

Beautiful message... I wish it were sharper and less noisy... but I understand the difficulties.

I like the subject. The man may be a little too central in the frame. Out of focus and grainy.

curious, the places life takes us.

very good concept but the blurriness strongly detracts.

Where did that guy get the cash to buy that burger?

While there are other photos that have better technicals that this one, I really like the social justice angle that you took with your shot. There needs to be more activism in photography. 10 from me.

Somber and poignant. 6

I think this could have been a very powerful photo. The photo is out of focus and blurry. The Audi and the girl in the back ground are distracting. This photo still drives home that not everyone gets to enjoy the holidays.

Nice try but too much unwanted motion blur. Better in bw with colors so bland. Then a tighter crop on the man to eliminate some bg distractions such as the woman burying her face in the pole.

I think this needed to be included, well done for the social comment
11/28/2008 10:48:00 PM
A bit depressing, but, then again, thats the point, isn't it?
11/28/2008 09:12:45 PM
Looks like this is an exteme crop or your focus was off.
