I like it. I like the technical quality - contrast, lighting, colors. The framing is great, and it has emotional appeal: Brings back memories.

The strong personality dominates the image like few other portraits even without his eyes or maybe because of the substitute sunglasses. But what ultimately grabs my attention aside from the detail of the hat, face and beard is the simple fact that there's no denying the attraction of a genuine smile. Of course a sensitively composed environment helps, On the other hand a minor caveat are the colors which seem a bit artificial. Overall 7 earlier voted.

This is a beautiful implied transition from a societal to a natural organic culture. It suggests a metaphor of the passing of the present, into an evolutionary past. Darwinian overtones represent a clawback from modern technology based communities into a primordial base, an evolutionary regression. But I wont say it again ;) While it is a dramatic visual transition, it feels as though there is inevitability to the process, and quite advanced. The unsuspecting crowd is complicit in its’ demise to a more paradoxical but simplistic ascendance – or dependence?
