 People waiting on a train at Paddington Railway Station, London. The guy with the big white beard had a sandwich but next to him was a fellow with noodles in a box, if I remember it correctly.

Converted to BW in Lightroom, cropped a little, exported to PS for levels, curves, framed, resized, sharpened and saved for the web. Everything basic.

Very well captured. I love the clarity, contrast, DoF and especially the emotion of your photo. Well done.

I'm guessing this will come 4th in the challenge.

This gentleman reminds me of my rather eccentric grandfather - he had long hair, and a rather unkempt beard, wore glasses that were mended with elastoplast and used to carry a camping stool around his neck so that he could always sit down! This photo is absolutely super.
