Imagineer has said it well. There are the flaws in post processing, but the original portrait stands out more and is quite impactful.

While this does suffer from some overhsharpening, it's a great study of boredom spawned from apparent hardship or poverty. Very well composed shot.

He looks tired. Makes me think of hardship more than boredom. I wish I could see a bit more of his expression and in what context we are viewing him. (background, surroundings, etc)

You are sure, this man is having a dull life??????

The challenge isn't praying, which is what it appears this man is doing. Otherwise, a great photo, with good crisp focus and good details. 6 for good photo, -1 for caption = 5... Just kidding, I'm not gonna mark you off for your caption, but you should have made it something a little less corny ;-) 6

Very nice and emotive shot. I just wish it was bigger and a bit more soft.
