Bizarre, with the boat in the center of the photo.... definitely an attention grabber.

Thank you very much all who gave me comments and voted.
15. place is my best performance yet.

I took this picture at a local bakery close to where I live on sunday but I had almost decided not to be in this competition until I saw this old man and decided to try to photograph him :-)

Post processing: RawShooter 1.1 and then black and white color conversion in Photoshop.

This looks like a photo like one of the old Masters would have created. Really superb work!

Charming character study. Would have loved more definition on the left hand, but the image remains strong as is. Bumping up.

Beautiful portrait. I think the blur in his left hand only contributes - it gives the poor guy a little life. He's probably got a lot of stories to tell...

Classic, looks pre 20th century if it weren't for that rather modern looking cup with spoon.

I rated this an 8. Would have been a 9 if the hand wasn't blurred. I know, old people can sometimes move really fast! Excellent image, love the tones, the composition, pov, dof. Really is an excellent shot. will pass again after seeing rest.
