 quite a while since i had an entry for a challenge here for some reason
i guess i couldnt resist this topic, so here it is
i really have no clue if this would appeal in anyway to voters
anyway..i shot this 'fellow' while ago and recalled where he lived so took the opportunity to visit him again and try another portait
these 'guys' like to live in darker places so i brought a tripod this time to reduce the chance of lacking sharpness

brilliant. technically, this achieves emotion through symbolism, but at the same time you brought out the symbolism from an abstract pattern, and besides, it's really really well done.
