This is a really good shot, but it lacks some contrast. Try to bump it up a bit and you'll have an excellent shot.

I can feel her pain Author, I lost a house to fire and everything i owned with it. Although I looked very healthy, I was flat broke, homeless and no where to turn. The Red Cross got us a motel room for a few days and fed us but we where indeed poverty stricken for quite a long time after.
Why do you people always have to tear it up? This gal is not Bill Gates obviously and it is no comparison. Comments that are negative, is against the rules but you continue to ignore it. Flag it and be done.
Do you get some kind of orgasmic sensation out of this? just critique the image, vote flag and move on.
Now I can wait for your nasty little rebuttals :P

I honestly think the quality of the photo is not the best. Quality of the photo, whether on theme or not should still be good right?

I KNEW it wasn't just me!! Maybe it was in the news worthy contest. Probably by another photographer behind the author at the same scene. It could happen

It's weird but I feel like I've seen this shot too, in dramatic weather contest, but I looked and it's not there. Oh well, it is an interesting capture though.

Ory... Like that rule is enforced

I lost count of how many entries that the general public thinks might be off theme but still stick.

I do think this entry should stay, because it looks like she's destined to poverty, whether or not she was before. But it wouldn't hurt to straiten your horizon.

Ah here we go;
"Keep in mind that we have to remove everything that is considered even slightly off-theme to avoid unnecessary argues after the contest ends."
With the number of members who are commenting saying that this is off theme then at minimum it must be considered "slightly off-theme." Sorry Author, wonderful shot, another contest will come up for it to fit into.

Ory says:

My entries get removed from time to time, and I believe the phrase used by the moderators is:
"Unfortunately any entry that is even considered slightly off theme by members has to be removed to avoid arguments."
That alone suggests removal of this entry is the right move.

Look... you can't be TOO poor if you can afford (any type of) a home on the water in the Florida Keys

rbsgrl says:

I think it may be both, poverty and tragedy. Look at the house, its smaller than most homes, looks run down so she may have been poor to begin with. But I guess that would be spectulation. As for crystalclear's comment, are you saying this distrought woman is too heavy not to be hungry? Maybe this the beginning of her poverty. Just my opinion.

Yes, having lived through hurricanes I absolutely agree that it is a huge tragedy if you're hit by one. But it doesn't necessarily denote poverty. I agree with ranger
