painful face indeed , well done

good shot

great shot ! but i agree with dinomario, there's something at the upper left corner , good luck !

Good concept and idea.....Nice shot...

Great idea!

Why not.... just edit entry and resubmit

well, there is some 'dappled shade' in the shot, not much, but enough to qualifiy the shot for the contest

Sorry. I don't want to start any wars through my own ignorance.

Love the shot but the glare from the water seems to be a bit overpowering.

I don't really see any shade here (that's dappled). I see dappled sunlight in the rerflection of the water, though.

He looks a little consternated to me. Anyway... it's a million times closer to being on theme than the original entry. Good job

Looks like Romania to me.

He doesn't look homeless or remotely in any pain whatsoever...

Yes, sorry. It's off-theme. If you have one to replace it with you could go to "edit entries" and upload it.

good expression...i really can feal the sadness and pain... GL author

I can see the pain

AHHHH...brings me back to those drunken frat-boy days I think I remember?!? Nice find author...

He looks pretty fearsome! Must intimidate the customers.

What is this? Just a trunk with the branches cut off?

Like the title. It's a "Dickens" of a tree.

lovely

Pain, sadness...

a lot of feeling in that face, really beautiful, just a little soft, but you knew that, or you would have posted a high res.

This isnt a shot taken from the bottom against the tree thats why.

Author... I do not doubt you... but, at the same time, there is implied movement... He may be "frozen", but he does not look like he is unless you tell us so...
Nice shot anyhow!

Congrats for your third place, Cocor!

oh alright, lol...........I'll say it.............congrats on your 3rd place.........well done..........

Lovely picture But something is visible in that upper left corner... Is that your hair?

I hope he gets paid well for this............

sorry, but the fact you caught this between axe swings does not mean it is inanimate..........this is obviously a shot implying momvement....imo

It's weird that nobody commented... I think this entry is original and very good taken, there are no "motion-blurry" parts of the image.

very relaxed, Bet he was supposed to be mowing the lawns.

I like this...even though there are a lot of meats there, it doesn't make the picture too "busy" because it is far enough away.

Nice shot..GL

Nice idea......great shot!! GL

Very Rustic.......GL

LOL @ itsmymoment. Every home should have one of these

This happens with a very tired fellow...Nice image....

Yes - I like it without the fill-flash - it does look like it was framed intentionally dark. Like it

Very on topic, really love the pillar.....GL

GL

Lovely idea........ very touching. GL

Your composition of this shot almost looks as if you were framing it with the darker areas. Nice job with this

Good idea but I agree about the focus. GL

haha good luck

Don't they have something bigger? Come on...

That makes me hungry!!

me!!!...............no, I am a hard nut...............................haha, No, of course it did, it is a great shot.............. good luck.

Caged children...got my vote! LOL!

nice color and perspective, nicely done
