However - - none of the photos, alone or together, tell me the story you've told in the copy block. I suppose the shot of Richa with the sleeping bag suggests 'homeless guy,' but so what? The bike rider and sign doesn't, I'm afraid, tell me that the man on the bike is the candidate - as Jack may have been suggesting. And the window shot, while a lovely, moody, evocative photo, doesn't show me the candidate's face, or what he's doing. Is Richa campaigning? If so I'd follow him on his campaign rounds, and then try to find other things he does that suggest - if possible - the kind of person he is, and what he might do for the people he wants to serve.

Folks want to see clearly the face of the candidate. This would be especially true of a fringe candidate... assuming he is serious about getting elected.
