I like the composition and the story being told here. Its very calming, reminds me of a lazy summer afternoon in the shade. I also like how the trees really help to frame the person and keep the eye coming back to that central idea. The thing that really stands out to me is the rocks in the lower right. While in some ways they mimic the person I find them too strong of a secondary idea and ends up competing for my attention. At first I actually thought it was the head of another person that was carelessly left in the frame. It would be nice to see if they could be cloned out or if the image could be cropped up from the bottom, though that could skew the nice composition of the person on the bottom third. Alternatively, adding a bit more rock might also work (though I like this idea less). I think part of issue is that they hint at more and keep pulling my eye out of the photo, like I want to figure out what is going on over there. More could have mitigated that. Over all though a very nice photo.

I'm not bothered by the rocks. I do think for this subject the camera angle is a little too low. I think you would have more impact if we saw a little more of the homeless man and his "bed." The higher angle would BTW, probably eliminate the rocks from the shot.

i do like the shot in general... i would remove the rocks and the top does seem very busy... as beamer suggested, a higher angle may have been more appropriate...or better still (and this is more difficult) getting closer to the mean but still keeping a low (or even lower) angle

I think this is a good shot, but i think the rocks take away from the main subject.
