Destitution and anxiety is well depicted on the facial expression of this old man. Despite of low light on the face, very well captured details. Well done Yasir.

Thanks for sharing this image.

It evokes sadness in me, so I guess that makes it a good photograph right there. I find it hard to take photos like this. Did you have any interaction with him, I wonder? Did you give him something? I never know what my objective is in taking a picture of someone who is poor or suffering? Am I exploiting him or helping him by portraying his plight to others? -Hugh
