Couldn't figure out if these guys were workers on a lunch break or homeless guys. Then too, it could be a social worker talking to a homeless guy. I caught this pic in the center of Rome, a few blocks from the Vatican. As with American cities, there are human contrasts.

A good capture, Ike. I wish it was squared up though.

Ike, Great street photography. I like the opposite eye contacts in the image. Leaves alot to our imagination.

Nice street shot, but straighten it, please. Somehow, they don’t look homeless to me, probably workers.

this scene is unfortunately , most common in Rome , they are immigrants of course homeless most probably coming from East Europe , most of them are asking for a job extremely difficult to get , other living in this way robbing , selling drugs etc..
this is a very big problem for Italy together the immigration from North Africa which is becoming a high business for some people

Very good street shot, Ike, the guy on the right definitely looks homeless.

I love the photograph as it combines a street scene with a great looking and interesting doorway. I agree with the others though. Please straighten the photo before these two guys slide off to the right edge.

As for who and what these guys are doing there, workers, homeless, etc. who cares. I have dealt one on one with people for close to 40 years in sales and law enforcement/corrections. I learned right quick that my first impression of who and what people are and what they are really doing may not be correct. We are told the guy on the right is definitely homeless. Why, because of his clothes. I dress pretty close to that when I am fishing or hunting. Occasionally, due to arthritis of my hips I have a problem getting my jeans on so I wear sweat pants when hanging around the house or shopping locally. Again I could be mistaken for either of these guys. Why do we, as humans, feel the need to prejudge each other?
