    Homeless Man Sleeps.

    It is quite common for the homeless in the area to grab a book and catch a few winks in the bookstore while pretending to read. I sat there across from this man for nearly half an hour and he never turned a page. In fact he never made any movment save for his chest rising and falling ever few seconds.

    Crits are welcome, thanks.

    Good shot Almo. The toning is very effective here.

    Re: Homeless Man Sleeps.

    Hi almo, I like your shot. Why? Because it's disturbing in a way that we all should be disturbed. I think its also poignant which books he chose to sleep in front of.... * Addiction Workbook * and * Remember Who You Are * which is really quite sad.

    You did good in seeing a moment here.

    Re: Homeless Man Sleeps.

    I love the subject matter here, very strong. My one critique would be the grainy/noise is just a tad much for my liking. Though I love the sepia tones, it is a tad overwhelming with the noise.

    Just me,
