Here - 20, tonight. But I am warm in my home. And... oh, George, if your pic is wonderful, and strong, and terrible. Oh, if I like it! Oh, if you are SO a great, my dear! You..you...you! You are able to stop by your camera just the real life. And so, you are a big photographer!

This has a dark and a stark story to tell. Not many of us dare with camera... in your hands it feels so organic and part of scene. I would not comment on elements - it is the sheer 'pleasure' of it I would rather stay with. Thanks for a wonderful post George

Great one. One of your best so far. One hell of a mean POV. One hell of a life in the city.

Witaj George.
Two days ago we had -20º C.
I can understand how terrible is that situation but also I wonder cause your picture.

Those military type boots and B&W colors gave me an impression like I'm looking at a photo that is taken during war time!
Very good POV and choice of color.

Nie wiem jak w Kanadzie, ale w Krakowie są noclegownie dla bezdomnych. A i tak często widzi się bezdomnych ludzi, nocujących na zewnątrz w takie mrozy. Dobre ujęcie, sprawia wrażenie jakby ten człowiek juz nie zyl. Mocne i tragiczne.
Pozdrawiam.

Hi George!
Really Great photo!!! this is masterpiece! Even from my point of view, because I do not like "hard" topics. But this is reality as it is, even quintessence of the people nature! I would like to see this work somehow on your personal exibition! ;-)
Thanks,
Edward

The death is coming.
Fast or slow.
Cruel or mercyfull.
Incredibly inevitable.
Jesteś geniuszem.

Hard and powerful, poignant and yes, so incredibly beautiful. Not many would do this. Not seeing his face makes this even greater. One of your best, nothing else to say.

Hello George,
A strong and thought-provoking presentation. There are two worlds in this photo: one of homelessness, and one of "the rest of us", represented by the woman in the winter coat strolling by in the background. Great POV, too. I can't imagine how anyone can bare such bone-biting cold, day after day, night after night...

Hello George
What a POV, low down & almost thrusting on the guy, possibly a street guy, homeless! The picture impacts the viewer hard...that's what you intended to do & definitely achieved. A super shot which speaks for itself, loudly!
With Regards

Une photo dure à regarder mais tellement forte. Très impressionnant! J'ai honte d'être confortablement au chaud!

What a POV! You certainly know how to compose these shots for maximum impact, George. Living in a hot climate when I feel cold if it drops below 20 degrees C (which it never does), I can't imagine how people can sleep on the streets when it is minus 11 - even if it is over a warm grill.
Looks like this guy has a pretty good pair of boots for a homeless person (I suppose you need them in temperatures like that).
Cheers . . . David

You must have been on your knees to shoot this one - probably feeling the frost through your trousers - sharing if only for one second what this guy has to endure.
That's what makes it POWERFUL !!

Hi George
Powerful image. I like your original framing of it and the presentation in black and white. A human tragedy.

Impressive picture. The extremly low POV and strong B&W adds even more drama to this image. I hope he/she found some place warm to spend the night.
Best regards
