Park bench

I know we have a "no homeless people policy", I hope this doesn't break it. CC's welcome always

Hah! This is just so much better than it would be if there were a homeless person reclining on the bench. Oh, and BTW, there's no policy regarding homeless people shots as such. There just needs to be something more than a bum sleeping on a bench for a shot to be interesting. Or--as you have quite nicely demonstrated--something less.

Thanks Richard. I think the key is not to be offensive, in this case I wanted the photo to be a reminder of how lucky most of us are.

And this, Juano, does that far, far better than the vast majority of pictures of homeless people. It is at once generic, and very personal. It really says 'this could be your bed.' Terrific!

Thanks Sara, simple is usually better, but often more difficult to capture, don't you think?
