Great shot. Love the clarity and contrast. Composition and color is good. I see some kind of relaxation, hobby or free time message in the photo. IMO it fits the challenge. 9

Don't understand the title and the image doesn't convey the challenge theme to me in the slightest but I like the high contrast black and white treatment.

this is a nicely composed image - when someone looks so intensely of screen, you ned to provide room in the image or his gaze and his thoughts, which you did, even leading us over to his worries with the line of his cane, as well as his gaze.. love the little details - the radio, the bottle

Thank you all for the comments and the score.
@Ileana, multumesc pentru aprecieri, cat despre punctaj cred ca am gresit la titlu putzin, fara sa citeasca cineva si povestea titlul nu prea merge cu imaginea. Ai mare drepatte despre concursuri sunt stimulente, mi-ar placea si mie sa fie orientat site-ul putzin mai spre alt gen de fotografie dar asta e :))

Thank you all for the comments and the good score, @Tiberius - multzam!
The reasons why a chosed this over the alternate is because I submitted them both during the month on another photography site (photoforum.ru) and this one seemed to be a bit more apreciated, also I kinda like the composition in his one a bit more.
