I noticed a homeless person lying on the sidewalk in front of a coffee shop, while inside two people sat in warm comfort enjoying hot drinks, and was struck by the polar opposites of their lives, and got this shot.

Re: Outside looking in
Robert,
I really like this photo. A very gripping contrast. The person's size and position in the frame in comparison to the signs, building, and other people really amplifies the disparity that can occur in society. Great street shot.

Re: Outside looking in
Really big contrast; especially when compared to this capture. Life's little pleasures
Nicely spotted and captured.

Re: Outside looking in
Funny thing is, in both shots the subjects were at the same spot (the south-west corner of the intersection of Queen and Bay streets), but I was standing at different places when I took them.
