It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by
Note from photographer:
My goal here is for the viewer to share the sadness displayed by the bear and try to understand why he is sad. I used the black and white to convey a strong emotion. This photo was not cropped.

This is incredibly good. I missed this challenge so thanks for posting it in the "most viewed" thread. I'd hate to have missed this altogether! Wonderful.
Believe me, I want to like this image, because so many in this challenge ignored the meaning of the lyrics completely and forced a fit. But I truly do not understand the point. What am I missing here?
NO RATING GIVEN
it would be much nicer if there were more distinction between the bear and the background. if it was not for the basic editing, a nice selective desat would have worked well here.
