By far your best “message” shot. All the elements are there. Judging by my monitor (which isn’t saying anything) I might have increased contrast and/or saturation slightly. But just barely–certainly wouldn’t want to lose the homeless guy in blare of color.
Like the shot. Very Atget like…and a bit of a self portait of you in there, no?

Agreed, one of your best. I wonder though, whether you are more interested in the message or the abstraction. Which is not to say you have to choose, not just yet
Yeah, them peoples what wrote below are right – it's a good'un. If my antivirus didn't forbid me from doing so I'd vote for you on PhotoFriday. I love images like this where your brain processes the information and tries to work out what in the hell it means. Or at least it's that way for me.
You can just make me out in the middle.

awesome! ah the photo that speaks more than a thousand words…
poverty contrasted with the faceless elite (i.e. adidas models) with the watchful eye in the middle…
black contrasted to white (but the models are black)…
a colorful vibrant background vs a plain colorless background…
this could be my favorite (or #2)

Chorn is clearly more interested in abstraction. WTF did the message mean?
