how sad

Thanks, friiski. This one was shot from quite some distance, with my 18-55mm. The place is full of people like that, lost in their own dark thoughts, and the least they want is having their pictures taken by total strangers

and he has not even the dog.
only on a lighter, beautiful photos. bravo

Grazzie, lincemiope. The guy was really heartbroken, but I never dared to ask him why

love this one

nice shot, but a little oversaturated IMO

What was lost ??

Meatman, I think the author is referring to 'lost in thought' or perhaps the game was lost.
Author it is better, but still too saturated for my taste.

Hi meatman. Actually he was checkmated. Thanks friiskiwi but that's the best I could do. His face was rather red to start of with.
