When I clicked on this photo, I instantly felt emotion from it. I think it's a good example of how a picture can connect with someone and mean different things to different people. In this case, I think it was the mood and feeling you captured, in context with my memories of my own father.... Anyways, use of b&w for dramatic effect, sillouhette use, and the interplay of light and shadows, makes this very interesting. I like the way the lighting becomes suggestive against the man's face and emphasizes the title. Hope it does well, I'm voting the only 9 i've given in this challenge
