Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I know this is yours Ben but I'm not going to let that stop me from commenting and scoring. I feel like this is a photo within a photo - the man sat peacefully in the chair, perhaps enjoying the light - that whole quadrant of the image self contained... then we move our eye outwards and the context changes - the darkness has us and the figure on the right take on an ominous presence suggestive of endangerment of the peaceful guy. It's like we're seeing something we shouldn't - a glimpse of a dark sub-strata of life that normally live at the periphery (even blind spot) of or perception and vision.

Critical stuff: Nope

Overall: Perfectly judged.

Nice shot, like the black and white conversion. The grain/noise works here.
