[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken at the horse race track.

There were only a few people at the track, among them this lonely sir...choosing a horse to bet.

The empty chairs behind him and his loneliness built up a strong mood...

Essa é uma dessas fotos que a gente olha, pensa em que crítica fazer...Talvez um workshop?.....E chega à conclusão de que não dá pra mexer no contraste, não dá pra mexer na cor, no grão, nada. Não dá pra contar mais do que ela já conta, de nenhuma outra maneira! SUPER! Na Mosca!

Nice composition Andre! I like the use of B/W that gaves a stronger feeling of loneliness. Nice POV, TFS,

Claudine

I recognized that picture as soon as I saw it in the gallery and I see that you have nicely improved on it. I liked the original version and I like this one as well. I really like the concentration look the old man has on his face. Nicely composed looking at the rows of empty chairs. Well done!

I don't know if I'd call his expression 'sadness' or 'lonely,' but I do really like the photo. it has that feel of focus and desperation that's so fit's a place of gambling.

nice.

Olá André
Voce tem razão quando diz que o entorno vazio dá uma força incrivel para a foto, mas a compoasição e a visão disso é vc quem fez...
parabens, e pela escolha do B&W tb.
Taba

Exellent shot! But the tittle doesn't fit with it.
Anyway, great photo.
tfs.

Empty chairs as empty sections of a brain before game. Good work.
