Very nice…with the backlighting.
It looks like he is stepping out of the light of the clean world and through the doorway or portal to the heavy and burdensome world. Your photo tells many stories.
a beautiful shot which allows the imagination to take over
A class snap. The natural light has been used to its maximum. The upheaval of the blue-collared from the shadows.
What a beautiful shot!

Love this one…the light is awesome and your control of light is even better…nicely exposed. Thanks for the comment in my blog, I am glad you liked it :)
this one is my favorite.. i like the over all composition
Perfect composition!
This is a beautiful street portrait, the light in the background gives it a surreal atmosphere and the lighting is beautiful.
I love your work. I just wish you used smaller watermarks
Great capture. I like the look and feel of this picture.
excellent colours
Very well done. The light and colors are very nice. This i really like.
Personally i think the picture would have been even better had you lighted the man’s face with an external flash. Otherwise the picture scores good on color and composition.
I love the framing and the amazing use of light. Your photos are very professional and very moving.
There is some talent here
Fabulous composition and creativity.
Very evocative
Great photo!
