Suggester says; A deeply powerful street photograph; it's hard not to be moved by such a raw, emotional display of helpless surrender.

Description
Lost again, broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go.

edit: i was away from the town for a couple for filming and i saw this photo of mine was chosen as daily deviation. This photo is not meant to show "how heartless i am to take photos of the poor" but its meant to make people around the world realize the harsh living conditions of the poor and create a social awareness on how to help the poor in these cold days.
please do help if you ever see any person trying to survive in harsh weather conditions.

Overall Vision Originality
Technique ImpactWow, really touching yet giving away a great impact.
Let me start by saying that the vision of this photo is beyong magnificient : the homeless guy, just sitting there, almost hopeless gives away a great sense of sorrow and loneliness, however, you pick up that "lonely" feeling by introducing people in the background. Given the current social acceptance of those people, they might just walk past him without noticing.
The simple blur effect that draws attention directly on the homeless person and the area around him is very well used.
With the snow, we can directly make a link between those two where the snow is like the only company of the homeless man, giving at the same time a cold feeling (sorrow) and a warm feeling.
In sum, your piece is a "chef d'oeuvre", I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Awesome technique, incredible impact, very original and giving away a wonderful vision. Keep up the awesome work!
