Alchoholism is a very dark and appropriate theme for this challenge. You have captured it exceptionally well. B&W and grain works good in this image. The way your model is positioned leaning against an uncomfortable wall and the way he is holding the glass and bottle says it all! Kudos for a great capture.
Very well done! Even if the photo was lighter, this would be well done. The lack of a face on the man makes it I think...puts the focus right where it should be. Nice job!
Been there done that, but beers my dark lord. Don't need the glass that way... Guess ya gotta be there to understand. Don't know if the DPC community can truly understand. Guess we'll see...
