Homeless in Shanghai

In the streets of Shanghai a vibrant expanding metropolis lies a soul

in need of help. Oblivious of his presence people with the capability

to help sidetrack their steps to avoid runn over him on a crowded

elevated pedistrian walkway

What makes this work for me is the legs of someone just walking by, and the little bit of change in the bowl. If it was just the man passed out on sidewalk, it would just be another snapshot.

If I had to give critique, I would say it might have been more interesting with a lower camera angle, bring the camera down to his perspective.

agree with 2 previous comment, and want to add,,and suggest to you to try it in BW.....

Appreciate the critiques.

I did comtemplate after taking this shot to knee down and take another. However I sense he wasn't really sleeping or passed-out. I instinctively imagine he might jump up at me with the stick if he realised I was photographing him.
