Oh, I see. On the screen in small resolution I couldn't see it clearly...
But I do stand by my opinion - it is an excellent image beside this
specific point.

Frank, here is my take and please notice no intent to offend you in any way.
In terms of a scene I agree with Paul and it is a very worthy image.
However, I think that for complete work I would need to see the eyes of
the main character. However it seems *to me* that the man is in the
middle of the blink. That makes it a bit problematic for me.

Well, I have a dilemma here and your opinion would help me. I do take
photos of beggars from time to time but I try not to exploit them and
do try to show them in a very "human" way.
So here's today's PESO:
http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2012/10/bloor-station-rush-hour.html?m=0
Exploiting or no? It's obviously a jarring image and one that many
will find uncomfortable to look at (indeed one ~should~ feel
uncomfortable).
However my thoughts are, firstly, that I take pictures of all sorts
of people from business people to firefighters to construction
workers; beggars are as much a part of a city as anyone else.
Secondly, I think there's a story here that goes beyond simply,
"here's a beggar, let's gawk." I won't tell you what I think that
story is; if the viewer can't see stories then the photo obviously
isn't working (for that viewer).
So if you have thoughts on this photo and whether I should display it
I would love to hear them.
And comments on the photo itself are welcome.
Thanks, frank
