Good shot, bad halos. ;) As an alternative to this a moment later, with him walking out of the frame - maybe only the back 1/4 of the car showing and all the rest cut off. It would leave lots of lonely space in the frame. Just a thought. ~ Lonnit

This is very nice, really transmit the sense of solitude. * Try to avoid these sharpening halos though

It does look like a pretty grim and lonely life. Good composition, Rod, but I'm bothered by the "halos" around the edges of the man and the wheels of the shopping cart. It looks like you did a bit too much sharpening or contrast or something. I often have the same problem, so please let me know what you did if you're able to correct it.

I still come back here and look at this poor little guy to see if he's okay. I just want to reach out and give him a hug. :(

Thanks Blue, you haven't lived until you have explored the dark side mate.

A little to much on the dark side for my taste.
May the force be with you!

Thanks all:-) Armin I don't think rushing would be in this old blokes capabilities mate, but leisurely shopping would:-)

Strange, how a picture can cause different thoughts...to me it looks like his is hurrying to this already 30 year long lasting loved one - to enjoy a relaxed shopping tour ... ~ Armin

This makes me very sad. You brought up a strong emotion.

Hope he has a shopping list:-)
Makes me wonder about this gentleman's life!
Very good, Rod
