 Every time I go into Chinatown I see this man either leaning forlornly on the counter or sitting with his legs up in a chair. I have never even seen a customer in his store, but he is still always there (not sure how he stays in business). I caught him this time behind the counter. I tried to capture his (and the store's) loneliness. It's not as good of a shot as I would like to get of him, but luckily he should be there next time too :)

Aww...so sad! This was a good capture, and as I haven't actually seen him, I think it clearly shows the loneliness of the scene.

Great processing, but to drive home your point, show more of the store. As viewers, we can't see the whole store and it seems inconsequential. If you show more of it, the message is strengthened. This may, of course, be limited by your focal length, but that's why this SC is fun :)

Beautiful capture. I wouldn't worry too much about reflections. In an urban shot, they can add to the mood/composition.

A good capture, I also wonder how places like that stay in business.

I hate shooting through glass, but you seem to have figured out the angle to avoid the reflections. Nicely done.

I like the glass case of empty shelves. Nice job processing.
