This is the same guy I shot for "Chains" - only six days later. He is in the same place, both physically and metaphoricaly speaking. He is in a dark place and his drink (red wine this time, with a screw top)is always with him. His right foot appears to have been broken. I think I'll try and have a chat with him soon.

Great perspective on the challenge theme! The title helps to pull this into the challenge which is risky if you are going for the ribbon. I love the image! I think your choice of color tone really helps to put the "down and out" mood into the shot. The metro-scape along with the grungy drips and splashes give this a feeling of an old picture in a box from some old musty smelling antique book store. It's busy and noisy and still has the feeling of being all alone. This one is getting a 10 from me. The voters tend to favor a more literal approach to the challenge theme so I hope to see this one score better with the voters than I think it will. Good luck in the challenge!
i don't appreciate how the processing helps this photo. "hair of the dog" might be too much of a stretch, or too subtle in any case, but it's totally OOTB and i like that.
I'm sure that many will find that this image doesn't meet challenge.
I personally can't help and comment that this is so good image, PP is great.
So artistic, and I think I recognize the style ( surfenbird???) 10 from me
and good luck.
