I shot this image in the late afternoon, in shade, and used a ND filter to darken the mood and one flash to create a dramatic light on the subject. We had to time the shoot in sync with the joggers using this small bridge, but I was pleased with the result.
Thanks to Kenanao for modelling and [user]PamB[/user] for loaning triggers, after 'slaving' refused to work consistently.

Congratulations on winning the yellow ribbon for this bold yet sensitive image a man stricken with troubles. It's beautifully composed and lit. In addition to the man's obvious grief you've provided a setting that supplies the underlying context of being sidelined on one's path and hemmed in by the world -- weeds and night.
hey barb .. many congrats on your ribbon .. i saw this in voting and thought it was a masterpiece .. unfortunately i didnt vote .. if i had it would'v got a 10 .. :)
Every thought is a battle, every breath is war, and I don't think I'm winning any more. (anon)
