 I chanced upon this man while on my morning travails by the creekside, and was intrigued by what i believe to be him wanting to dip his feet in the water.. His tight grip on the handrails seemed to suggest his fear of letting go and toppling into the drink.. All in all, i believe it made for a compelling photograph, and im glad that i happened to be at the right place at the right time!:-)

I love the body language in this one, his fully extended arms and lower head transmit a sensation of fatigue/resignation. I find the title not be quite in accordance with the feeling on the image, although cultural differences and wrong preconceptions are probably misleading my interpretation.
