I don't get it. What is is only regret? That he didn't give up coffee? That he never went to Guatemala?

Anyhow, The pic is well done, but the emotional impact is somewhat lost on me because he looks more bored than pensive.

I'm not giving you a ribbon because I know who you are. But I have no compunction about giving you a 10. This shot is easily a 10.

Comment by ubique:
This is interesting. The lighting (including the lack of it) is theatrical, and suggests that this is a stage performance. I expect to see the man begin a soliloquy raking over the coals of his life.

Beneath all that is another interpretation, triggered by the self-congratulatory posters. How to turn 2 cents worth of coffee beans at the Guatemalan grower's end into two bucks worth of coffee at the regretful man's end. The shadowy figure in the corner is no doubt Mr Businessman, counting the beans. 9.

wish I could see just a hair more of the guy on the right. at least the shape of his head would do. On my editing monitor, I probably could, but I'm 'working' right now. will return later, for now, an 8
