Wow. Really excellent. I haven't looked at many entries from this challenge, but I suspect this one will be the best, or at least one of the best. Not sure how it will be received by the voters, though. This strikes me as very original and "out of the box." VERY emotive. You can really feel what he's feeling. And if anyone comments that the handrail sticking out of his head is cistracting, I will personally kick their ass ;) 10.

This is a ribbon-winning image, but I suspect not with this challenge subject

I like the mood of this image a lot, but would have liked it more without the stick coming out of his head.

Your photo evokes a sadness in me. Like the man is celebrating days gone by - kind of melancholy. I like it though.

I'm sure there is much more of a story going on here than we are being given undertsanding-wise, but then maybe not. Doesn't matter, as I love the feel and tone here. The lighting / shadows / highlights are superb! (8)

I can't quite out what the strange thing is sticking out of his hat ... oh, it's a stick? (Ok, it's the handrail of the steps, but is really one of those no-noes in photography, like trees growing out of people's heads).

Without knowing the history behind this image (and there is definitely a strong connotation of one), this imparts more of a feeling of sorrow than celebration. The debris in the foreground, the down-turned face and the wine glass all seem to point in this direction. To the photographer I'm sure this is not the case, but to a casual observer, it's tough to tell. Aside from that, the image is very well done. I like the silhouette as well as the textures and lighting in the foreground. The light tones in the background add to the rustic look of the shot. Great photo, but difficult to relate to the challenge imho.
