I like the centered composition and DOF. Nice muted colours too.

I'm not usually a fan of selective desat, but this works for me.

I love the sentiment, the idea... something about the pp'ing keeps kicking me out of the moment, as though he was shot in studio and then superimposed on the road. Maybe it's the vignetting.

1st night I flipped thru all the shots, maybe opened one or two that grabbed me from the thumbnail, and this was one of them!! There isn't a thing I don't love about this!!

Would make a nice shot for the back of a CD cover.

Comment by CNovack:
The journey home is a melody
It rises with the high notes
and dips with the low ones.
Footfalls like beats
on the measure of the road.


The desat processing effectively focuses my attention instantly on the man with the guitar. He is the only element with some color. The road ahead is symbolic I feel for it is not just the physical journey home, but the musical one to attain validation and recognition as a musician.
