'Journeys End'

saw this elderly gent on the London Underground, at first I thought he was sleeping but after watching him for a few minutes I realised that he was troubled so I asked him if he was o.k.

He replied, 'No!' and then he refused to speak again. ( I tried to get him to tell me what was up but he just didn't want to know'.)

It was not me taking his picture that upset him, he was like this when I borded and when photographed he seemed oblivious to the click.

It is no fun getting old.:(

In Russian the same proverb "Starost ne radost."

I would like to learn but it is almost impossible here in in England.

 

This is a superb shot - balancing between the subject and taking a shot is never easy. Well done for getting it and even better for the quality. Out of interest, did you crop the original very much?

Yes Neil, I think I did. I will try to find and upload for comparison.

 

 

June 04/ still cannot find it!

.

Alot of emotion, well done.

This is an outstanding image. With a better title, I'd bump the Originality rating to a 7.

I would have cropped the picture a little more on the right and added more room to the left. Otherwise, it's an amazing show of emotion. The vein on his forhead almost makes you feel his agony.
