You have worked this theme hard, Kal. This photo is very expressive, largely because of the effect of light, vantage point and the wideangle lens choice. He seems to be working very hard -- alas, for just a pittance.
Sad.
Wow!!
I love this one. First the intensity of that light, which seems so fabulous here almost like we are witnessing magic happening at the very second you've pressed the shutter button...
The man contorting himself whether through the effects of the music he's playing or the harshness of his existense really fills the whole image and our eyes too.
Prisonor of war?? Well... I don't know if you meant this literally or just as a metaphor, because of the bar's shadows in the back... even the floor looks like it was put there on purpose for your photo...
Enourmous capture Kal.
