You've used light and some interesting angles effectively to draw attention to your subject. Perhaps you're assuming too much in thinking that we know what is being presented in terms of both objects and theme communication. I see a guy pressing a button of some kind on a machine and is that a solar collector of some kind? All this does not add up to "despair" to me, even with the title. If despair is to be found in having no energy, it may be worthwhile to experiment more with mood and result.

I got what you want to say here. You forgot to pay the electricity bill and have to use a little solar power unit right? Okay that is despair you convinced me, but it is going to cost you a beer!

I don't get a feeling of despair here. You may be low on energy, but you have a solution, what is there to despair about?

As a picture I like the composition having the solar panel in the foreground, and the depth of field is good having the background a bit soft. The pointing finger, however, is distracting. I keep looking over to the right to find what is being pointed at. I realize that it's not pointing, it's pushing a button, but because the button is so dark compared to the hand, pointing is the impression I get.

I don't understand this at all.

I'm afraid it's not very clear what's going on here...
