Oh but its the newspaper - the sport section; how could this be more affecting than this slightly wrecked old gentleman still pursuing his dreams through the sports reports? And people worry about the exposure on the curtains?

Those net curtains (as we also have in England) make the scene for me. Nice to see your offering, JJ. Welcome. Hope all is well.

The backlighting is lovely - even if the curtains are blown out a bit.

Beautifully observed -I love the play of light, and how the delicateness of the net curtains contrasts with the rather gruff exterior of the elderly gentleman, bumping to 10.

Great detail and textures. The lighting cast by the window works really well too.

I'd love to think that this was completely spontaneous... what a wonderful face and the detail on the curtain makes this perfect!

Its really sad that the white on top is sooo blown!!! It would have been great to see all the detail in the curtain. I would suggest using a fill flash next time. The shadows on the table are great! I love the photo overall.

My only other complaint is that it looks more B&W than Sepia. 6
