 I thought I would leave it up to the voters to decide where this man was sitting. To me It could have been anywhere...a hospital, bus station, whatever. Defining that part of the photo up front would have really taken away a lot of the mystique of the photo, which is why you'll still have to guess!

Good lighting on the subject, though I wish there was some frame of reference for where he was waiting. Train? Bus? Hospital?

I have to admit..I sometimes get bored while voting...then this comes along....
I am caught waiting with her/him, leaning in to ask if there is anything I can do to help...
all that while thinking 'man those are gorgeous quadtones..wonder if I can get the recipe...subject perfectly highlighted, shot is about life...so much more to look at, think about...how lonely it can be to grow older, how likely it is that you or your partner will be alone..just like this...
well done, and thanks for breaking up the voting...

I think if you cropped off a little from the left it would look better. otherwise very nice.
