Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I like the bi-zonal effect here, the prominent foreground gentleman draws the eye but only for a moment before our gaze is hijacked by the officious interloper at the top. He breaks (and won't permit) us to share in the man's apparent quiet. I not often brave enough to go with a Dutch angle but it works really well here, anchored as it is by the verticals of the bench. I like your title too - I'm not sure I see suffering here though discomfort perhaps.

Critical stuff: No.

Overall: A very well made (and intriguing) image.

Great subject. WhileI understand that you were trying to shot without being noticed, I think that a different angle and maybe a shallower DOF may have helped this shot.
