good storytelling. 8

Such a good photo. Along with the title it tells a compelling story.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is a fabulous quirky portrait. The colours are tremendous, particularly the curtains! The pan.... a masterstroke. That decrepit frame... marvellous. The light on his face is just perfect and this contributes to outstanding balance across the frame.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all

Overall: Magnificent. 10 and a fav.
