great catch..and cool processing
very nice i like that a lot,did you give him his shoes back ?
a shallow DOF would have helped this as the background is rather distracting.
Id also like to know where this was taken.. so i can ensure i dont visit lol
I think the juxtaposition of the bench and sofa give some credibility to the shot. A shallow depth of field would have removed that, and then sadly, it would just be yet another B&W street shot exploiting yet another homeless person. The sofa in the background is all that's stopping this from being such a self-congratulatory, masturbatory and cynical "one story" depiction of homeless people.

I think the DOF issue would also eliminate the all important sign "Relax its included". The background adds to the image and it was a great spot george and well executed it does look a little tilted to the right so a slight ACW rotation would make the door vertical again.
How do you know it's a homeless person.
