Yesterday, I went for a walk at the historical centre of Athens and there I saw this man. I had to hide behind a wall to take this shot, that's why his right side is not visible. Good thing I had my 200 zoom lense with me.

I only did some cropping, layer work (curves, contrast, selective colour) and that's it.

Not sure who or what's being abandoned here, but I kind of like the mood of this.

The light and colour captures the atmosphere well. Depressing reality.

The door on this came out very clear but, the boy looks very well taken care of and his face is a bit too dark. Doesn't seem to say "abandoned" to me.

I like the state of the door, I like the white background behind the person, I like the way the doorway divides the man from the door. I would liek to see outtakes from this shot, maybe one with a little more area covered? I mean to say, the whole man and the whole door? Who is abandoned, the home or the man?
