This is the only color photo I have been choosing, You captured this scene very well. There are 4 parts of the image made me stop and have a closer look. The main subject in my opinion is this man and his desperate look into nowhere. His dog looking i an different direction having an attention of someone, the big issue paper with a dog cover and finally the people passing and you just had this tiny spot for your photo. Well captured.

I have been a long time hesitating, so your are my second choice. This is another "a telling story photo". Perfect scene and excellent black and white composition with so many details. I just love it. Very well done, perfect cut and post-processing. Actually I was asking myself what kind of work they were doing in there.

This is another excellent story telling photo. I love the cut and the post-processing. Very well done black and white image. I suppose this was shot somewhere in South-America. Excellent light in there and you had a good position as I can't see you in the mirrors. I love these details, as the photo on the upper left side for example.

Extremely strong composition telling one of these stories of our time. Very emotional capture. I don't like to much frames, but on this one, it fits very well and is decent. There are so many questions, when, how, what was your opportunity to take this shot? You got me, and this is why you are my winner in this contest with a high number of excellent works.

Another story telling photo and very common in the european cities today, young people, homeless, on the street. Well captured and cut to a 16/9. The subject in focus and the walking and passing people blurred. You can feel the solitude, the man with his cigarette and his hand on the dog.
