I have always been reluctant to photograph people while they were aware of my presence. They would either get upset or preen for me. I try to shoot them being their natural selves. You got a good capture, color and focus are excellent. I have often converted these types of human condition images to b/w which often is a more accurate reflection of the mood I want to project.

an excellent journalism shot and yes, he looks a bit confuse and out of place, so maybe he was not an homeless, but just some old man very tired
excellent focus and story telling
thanks for sharing

Comment from Life is but a dream.
I really like the story here and it is excellent photojournalism.
You got down to his level, enough to wake him up. I don't see anger nor do I see contempt, perhaps you were reading into this image and thus telling us something about yourself and how you would react if it was you being photographed.
At our photo club we often talk about taking other people's photographs and if we should ask for permission. If they are in a public place, and if we are not using the image to make $$$ then we do not need to ask for permission (so say the pundits). When you do ask for permission oftentimes the photos look staged and phony. It is a dilemma.
It is that wheelchair that makes us linger longer on your photograph and adds that element of mystery and emotion to the photograph.
It's a great entry, thank you for sharing.

I like you don't know whether this person is for real or not. However I do know that you have captured a good shot. Good composition, good lighting, good focus, good colours and the picture tells a story. Well done and all the best in the competition.

Nice but tricky shot. I know one should get model releases for photos of people, expecially if monetizing the image. But he was sleeping, so I don't know the rules but suspect you still need a model release.
The image does tell an interesting story. Mobile connections are not cheap on a monthly basis. So that does not fit too well with being homeless.
That is what makes life interesting. So many ways to live, behave, and die, it all gets confusing after awhile. :)

A very provocative capture. While of course nobody knows this man's story, sometimes the "new" things are gifts from family members who can't think of how to help their "homeless" man and don't have or want to send $, but want him to be able to stay in touch. Who knows what the wheelchair is for...The photo and description is stellar. Well done.
