Greetings from the Critique Club Louie and my personal thoughts on your image.
Whilst I pay attention to titles and their interaction with the image and challenge it doesn't sway my score but sadly I don't get how this fits the euphemism challenge?
I really like the crop, composition and the oof parts on the right help draw me back into the main image. The tone and lighting are also very nice as is the black and white treatment, this is a very good candid portrait image imho.
I'm wondering if the black background was made 'blacker' in post processing? his mouth, neck, ear and specks on his cheek don't look quite right to me (too black). As it was an advanced challenge maybe a little Gaussian blur on his shirt would help give impact to his face?
In a more fitting challenge this would have been at least a 7 from me but as I don't see the connection with the challenge it would have dropped to a 6 I think.
It's a great shot and made better (for me) as it's a candid. I took a little time to view your profile, street candids seem to be your forte - some excellent shots.

| This would be a great image for a character study. It looks like a candid and technically very good. There is a lot of living in that face - a history that begs to be told. Nice capture - well done. I'm not exactly sure how this is a euphemism but then again, not all images in this challenge were. |

| it's so easy to understate (and at the same time laugh at) old age, and the guy isn't even very old |

| This photo almost has a sorrowful feeling. There's a wisdom here... perhaps it's because he's "mature"... but I like it. Great shot. And brilliant to have it a black and white |
