So simple and yet carries a message. I really like that it is still very "candid" even though he made eye contact and "posed" for you. The head and legs around his jacket are something you could consider cloning out as they are a bit of a distraction.

this is an incredible image ..
my heart literally lurched when it opened ..

I don't want to make this seem less than it is with words about the way this is presented ..

so I'll leave it at that ..

I haven't actually seen any of your competition yet .. but I can't imagine anything would come close in this challenge ..

many congratulations on the blue in advance.. and something that I'll never forget .. :)

fav .. obviously .. :)

Slightly surprised not to see this on the front page. I thought it was perfect for this challenge. Well seen and captured.

Love all the textures in the wood and walls. Some form of 4-legged creature is walking around. Very cool. The left side is mostly black and not as interesting as the other parts.
