Taken at the beach, he was fishing, i loved his hat, and sense of loneliness. I actually wasn't going to enter this challenge, but after going out on the week end and taking a load of pic's I changed my mind. When I saw how this pic turned out I thought it might suit the challenge.


Adj shades added, Conv to B & W , vignette. Not much else.
Hope you all like it.

Struggling to figure out what's troubling your soul here. A thoughtful photograph in any case. Looks good low key.

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.

Dark and moody. The figure seems to be withdrawing into itself.

Possibly the moodiest shot of the whole bunch, which is saying quite a bit. Truly excellent.

I like the effect of the soft clouds, they seem to move slowly while the silhouette remains still.
This brings me to memory Τα Πάντα ῥεῖ (ta panta rhei) "everything flows" (Heraclitus).
Very interesting photo who brings the opportunity to meditate.

This is moody. Hope you feel better tomorrow. I'll give you a 10, maybe that will help?

I think the vignette takes too much away from the subject in the bottom left - you almost miss him.

Super dramatic and mysterious. Good thing you managed to not dodge/burn the crap out of and ruin the subtlety of the dark grey clouds. I love it! 9
