Thank you very much all who gave me comments and voted.
15. place is my best performance yet.
I took this picture at a local bakery close to where I live on sunday but I had almost decided not to be in this competition until I saw this old man and decided to try to photograph him :-)
Post processing: RawShooter 1.1 and then black and white color conversion in Photoshop.

Beautiful portrait. I think the blur in his left hand only contributes - it gives the poor guy a little life. He's probably got a lot of stories to tell...
I rated this an 8. Would have been a 9 if the hand wasn't blurred. I know, old people can sometimes move really fast! Excellent image, love the tones, the composition, pov, dof. Really is an excellent shot. will pass again after seeing rest.
This is an amazing image, I went back and bumped up my original score to a 9, the only reason I did not give it a ten is the slight blurring of the left hand. I love this picture. Congratulations on a wonderful image.
This is outstanding! Thanks for making my day with a simple photograph. So expressive and deceptively simple. The slight motion blur is so amazingly effective. Wow. I'm skipping on roses now! 10!
Wonderful subject, great composition, works perfectly in black and white. Focus feels a touch soft on his face but I'm assuming it's not as his hair seems sharp. I like the motion in his hand.
A powerful shot.
I am wondering if the blur works on this one. He looks like he's frozen in time and his hands show movement (I can't be sure).
There's something special about this shot that makes be want to analyze it over and over again. It makes me want to what he's really thinking there.
This one is about life; about us; our thoughts and fears. Looking at this image makes me wonder where I would be about 30yrs time. It also mekes me think about how it's going to end for me.
I think you know now how much I like this one :)
