Oh, my, Vikas is at it again. Of course this is yours - who else could it be? LOL! Outstanding again!! ~ Lonnit

Thanks a lot everyone, appreciate it.

Olaf, this was taken at the far end of one of the less used platforms and thankfully there was no one around which is why the gentleman could sleep so peacefully, I think. :-) Lack of people there certainly helped getting the clean surroundings.

Cheers, Vikas.

Tasty shot. Tim A

A true Vikas! What surprises me is how empty and clean the surroundings are - they are so neat, it almost looks like a set-up studio shot! I am not doubting your words Vikas - just amazed at your find - a homeless man sleeping at a railway station - and in such neatness!

wonderful lighting!

Strong composition and lighting and a very good black and white conversion.

Thanks Traveller and you are right he did look very content whilst sleeping.
Thanks Victor. This was taken at the railway station, at around 7.00 am on a very overcast Sunday. This cart was just under the thin skylight in the platform roof which gave very dappled lighting. Plus did some burning to bring out the already dark moodiness of the pic. Cheers, Vikas.

Very nice. Can you describe the lighting? -- Victor

Or, if you like, Vikas, as an alternative Title, Home at Last....lol. I say this because he does look reasonably contented. There may be a lesson here. Best Wishes, Traveller
