  3. He should be enjoying the last years of his life in stead of begging for his food … so sad to see, but such a great capture. Time has left some beautiful texture on his hands.

  7. Goes without saying these hands speak volumes, but a very silent and powerful story that millions live throughout the day and have experienced for ages. Beautiful execution; could not expect less from you.

  8. beautiful shot. my only problem is the title “in agony”. the title should be more ambiguous as to let the viewer determine the man’s emotions. the picture should not be influenced by it’s title.
