I've enjoyed much of your work and find it overall refreshing and a throwback to what 'art' in photography is or can be. However, that said, this one didn't speak to me at all in that way. I think I enjoy (need) something that is recognizable in the presentation to tell the story better. Didn't feel a story or connection with this one at all.

Now I get the title. Sorry about losing your good friend. Hard to tell from the photo, but he doesn't appear to be elderly or out of shape.

As for the photo, B&W was a good choice. I also like the line on the road as a 'leading line' so to speak. Do think that maybe a bit off the top, and a small crop to the left, would have created a little better dynamic with the comp. Putting him off-center and allowing the curve of the road and line to play a little stronger.

What sign?! Honestly, I didn't even see it when it came up for voting, and even now, after looking for it, it's barely an item at all.

Hmmppf. Had this as one of top picks. The geometry ... placement of the primary subjects within, etc., all works well IMO. Strong image.

Who doesn't love blue bottles? :-P Nice lighting. Background is interesting, but a tad strange at the same time. Can't put my finger on it. May come back and look again. Good luck.

I think you have something with the bowl. The background is a little busy IMO. I'd hang onto this prop for some future use for sure. Very unique and photogenic.
