IMO everything is too centered.

The top two don't do anything for me, sorry, but the bottom one has possibilities. Its too late to do anything, but I'm thinking that the same shot from a bit farther away, to show more of the surroundings, would maybe have had more impact, to show the dichotomy between what I assume is a homeless man and something more upscale. I remember to this day I was walking along a street in NYC one day and passed a street denizen sleeping right next to where a huge Rolls Royce limo was parked. Not sure if he got there first or what but it would have made an interesting picture.

Sorry for the ramble but I was trying to justify my comment on the picture. Hope it made sense.

I think you are on the right track...the first one I think is about the boots, but the trash bag in the back ground, and the other legs behind are too distracting. I'm not really sure what that one is about?

On the second pic, I would just concentrate on the expression of the driver, maybe crop closer.

Nice focus on all...I just think you need to be more clear on your subject matter.

I think that a photo should tell the veiwer something.... I agree that the last one tells a story. Some good advice has been given there...

I'll tackle the boots.. I'm not sure what you are trying to convey, but anytime you have feet or implied motion, that subject should have somewhere to go within the frame and be positioned accordingly..

Also, that garbage sack needs to go.......

Nice edit on the garbage bag.
