Well done! You have caught the moment beautifully. The only thing I wonder about is (since I am an outsider and do not know what that piece of paper is that he has in his hand) whether showing just a bit more of the surroundings would have told more of a story.

Hi Otto,

Thanks for your thoughtful comments. The guy is sitting on a public bench with a lot of bills in his hand. He is not looking at the bills but his face seems to be full of worries. The surrounding are nothing special - but I found his face and his expressions interesting. All the best Per.

Yes a very good capture.  But, my eye would be happier, find the image more dynamic, if the image crop on the left had begun just past where the subjects right sleeve begins at the image lower left. This slight decoupage would “match” or find pattern with the decoupage applied to the person behind and image right of the subject, justifying it by the sense that moving in close is important.  That may move focus away from the contextual details of the story. But I think the essence of that story would be enhanced.
