Description
As the season of goodwill approaches I had been Xmas shopping and stopped at a local Pub for a Pint of best..This guy struck a chord I wondered what he was thinking and what was on his mind like his bottle was his life half full or half empty?
Those of us with friends and family are luckier than we know

Hello, Danny! I guess he thinks about the half full of life that he had, but now he's wondering about the life that still lies ahead...anyway, he's definetely "far far away"..exc. image!
The issue of loneliness really raises its head around the Christmas season. A sensitive and thought provoking post.
This one of the best "people" photos I have seen in RR. It has ALL. Excellent PRO capture and atmosphere. What else ? PERFECT = V !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with solrac_gi_2nd . excellent people shot. * vote * #:O)
During this time of year, there are so many lonely ppl! My heart goes out to all of them!! However, sometimes ppl just like to get out & relax while thier other half is shopping. Its really hard to tell whats on his mind! Poor guy, I hope hes ok during this season!! Xcellent shot as always! V
Yep....just paddle that Canoe....and I will be ok...manly hugz
A wonderful photo! So good to see everyday people! Bravo!!
It's a good thing to be reminded about the less fortunate among us. Even though we can not always help them, we can at least show interest in what goes on in them. Great capture with a whole different world inside its own, a world inside this man. Excellent!
Great capture my friend!!! Splendid combination of lights and shades!!!
sneaking photos eh? sounds like a good afternoon of people watching... this came out well in the mood & light.. newcastle is a pretty good beer too :]
Good Mood . nice work
Life scene...different from you and most excellent capture!!!
Hey Danny I recognise that bottle! Superb thought provoking image.
And me just thinking you went for the menu card...... It must have been a set up!!
Be nice if he was staring at it thinking...No I don't need you.
Danny, this is a very touching and Emotional shot, the best shot always just happen, and can never be posed.The lighting and Atmosphere are perfect, and the look on his face is priceless ( you could read so many things into his thoughts ) Mate, only you could have pulled this off..........OUTSTANDING.......V..John
that's intense.... good shot!
I've never had a local bar or pub to go to where I was accepted. It comes from not being an immigrant. No little to set the stage. The best I ever did was taking the crew of the HMS "Porpoise" out on the town and two years later a crew from Costa Rica picking up used IBM "Selectric" typewriters. Seems you take some getting used to.
This is so true!! This is a very moving shot...makes me feel so sad....
Quite a change in your subjects, genial photography !
Truly an excellent 'people shot'. Yes, I would wonder what he is thinking about too. Excellent photography.
WOWW..!!! Wonderful shot..!! * PERFECT .. LOVE COMPOSITION, LIGHTING AND MOOD...** V ****
Superb shot and mood... he is really lost in his thoughts. It is different from what you usually photograph... I like very much this kinf of capture !!! v
Xcellent shot !!!!!!
Wonderfully emotive composition, Danny. I would say this guy's life has always been less than half full. The whole scene rocks! :))))
hey, very impressive capture! thoughtful and perfect composed! hn...maybe he is thinking about his future!
Contemplation ! Some sad - Great study shot !
Magnificent image!!!
