Even when tomorrow arrives and everything disappears, if you continue at my side smiling, I won't need nothing else.

This is so beautiful and simply it works so well. Although because of the position of the guy i feel it overpowers the photo a bit too much, maybe next time try to put him in the left hand bottom corner of the frame and see what that looks like. It's still a lovely photo though.

Great perspective, and you captured quite a lot of emotion from the man sitting on the bench. His slouched position expresses a loneliness that really draws me.;) A definite favorite.

lol, its great i think it kinda depicts a lot more though. The idea that we have abandonned the older generation and they are left lonly on an empty bench, while people just keep walking by. Its a great piece :+fav:

Yeah I never understood the comments on the lighting, it's not something that I remember noticing when I was there.. it's kinda at a junction so I guess the light would be quite contrasted.
It's kinda made the photo for a lot of people.. they've all commented on it.
