Excellent street life shot. Great artistic tone.

Guest		27-Feb-2013 15:22
Although the fantastic light, shadow and texture are obvious, I think the crowning touch is how you've also managed to capture his innermost thoughts, mood and spirit.

Buba Jafarli		05-Jul-2012 17:24
Well seen, Guy. The tonal contrast makes the image very dramaic! V.

Excellent shot, remembering old time. Excellent capture and BW process, I found very good choise to insert the china inscription in the shadow, what give a dinamic situation to the capture. Could be a story behind the wall... cheers vote alberto

Hi Guy, Great candid shot of this lonely moment. Much feeling in this shot. \/

Guest		05-Mar-2008 14:06
This is an amazing image. I like the darkness in the top part of the image and the sign with its writing that seems to trail off into the void of light. I like the varied textures on the walls and the shadows at the mans feet. The fact that the man is concentrating on his meal adds to the intensity of this image. Very powerful and dramatic. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us. --Shawn

L'attitude de cette personne dégage beaucoup de solitude . Les contrastes augmentent probablement cette émotion.

parallaxes aka Jean-Pierre Bijouard		24-Dec-2007 13:16
Magnifique image, Guy. Difficile de photographier les gens humbles, les pauvres ; il faut de la pudeur, de la distance et de la considération. Tout est là. Bravo. :^)

Sam Bashir		07-Nov-2007 18:23
Guy, This image has impact on more than one level; lighting, composition, negative space and an interest in the old man (his thoughts, his life). V
