Comment by AP:
An example of a shot that takes it to that next level of emotion and meaning. Assuming this is a pure documentary photograph, IMO, an image like this is infinitely more valuable than the posed nonsense we see everywhere. I don't mean 'nonsense', those types of shot have their time and place, I'm just saying that capturing real people doing real things is what I think photography is all about and wish I saw more of it on this site. The expression and light on the face and the shafts of light behind make this a stand out shot and my first 10 this challenge. The photograph just screams 'realness' to me, GL

I like the rays of light and the contemplative look on his face. Very nice.

VERY nicely done. A real sense of being there and of being alone there.

Great idea and a great profile portrait. The pinkish streaming light is a put-off for me.
