Excellant shot. Has this been post processed and cropped? What were the circumstances that led to the image?

Thanks Dale, Melissa for the comments. To answer your questions Dale, I did crop the image and darkened it a bit do to the early am sunlight hitting the site of his face. I was taking an early morning walk in Miami with my camera and had the chance to stop meet and speak with this gentlemen. #3254648

Great photo Tom. I had to look at it for quite a few minutes. Don't know about despair, but after looking at him for a while I can't put a label on it. #3254868
