Photographer's Note
In my recent visit to Sibi(Balochistan),I went to my family graveyard. There I saw this old man.He made me curious and so I went up to him and talked to him. when i asked why he was sitting there all alone, His replied "My wife,my son and brother are burried here,I often visit their graves.I am just waiting for my turn....". one can see sorrow in his eyes!!so vacant eyes..

Hello mugush
Very good composition of the old man against the cemetary. Although his face is a bit to dark, but I see in his pose that he is really waiting for his turn. Unfortunately...
Regards

mujtaba,
great touching note. good dof and thus a lot of details to explore in this shot. even though the old man's face is not totally visible one can feel the sadness and see the burden of time in his face. well done.

Bonjour Mujtaba,
Une note qui touche, l'ombre cache l'expression de son regard, mais l'ont peut s'imaginer la tristesse sur son visage, jolies couleurs.
Amitiés

I think you have fallen between two stools here,as you say in the comment that there was a sad look in the mans eyes so why not go for a crop on his face.The shot as it stands is ok but there are bits cropped off that make it look a touch messy

Hello Mujtaba,
great dramatic photo,although it's abit dark we can perfeclty understand the mood on old man's face. Like the pov for this photo giving us all the details about the old man but also leaving a photo to watch the cemetery.
Well done.

Hi Mugush,
As, usual...well thought and written notes. Sad story...
I think your positioning could be better, though good that you managed to get some graves in the background.
Lovely and sharp though...

A great and touchy photo , Mujtaba. A very creative combination of an old man and a young tree in background. Why those white patches on left bottom and center bottom ? othar than that its an awsome snap.
well done.

Hallo Mujtaba!
A photo which reaches the heart! What is life ...
Thank you for showing this! I think, technical regards in this case aren't important.
Greetings from Germany!

I would have to agree that the face is a little dark but given the subject and the conditions I don't think that it could be helped. This is a woderful portrait. Please please please keep up the great work.

Hello again, strong photo and feeling. I would like to take this man to my home, like if he was my grand father and give him hapiness before his turn comes.
His face is a little bit dark but it makes his sadness stronger. Thank for it.

HEllo Mujtaba,
very nice portrait of an old man and a tree.
Although it is a sad story the man shows a great dignity. Well done. TFS Thomas

I come back to this shot Mujtaba, cause I find it marvellous, although his face is at the edge dark counterlighted, wishing it a tiny bit lighter, it makes you look closely to him, his whole figure with his open hand stand out towards long range of sharpness only at the horizont fading, colors are so clear and natural and the sharpness is top.
Very well done, have a nice weekend

Hi Mujtaba,
This is a day in life's journey so well captured. If only everyone thinks like this old man, the world will be such a serene place to live in. This rickety frame reminds me of my grandfather.

I see old people in their homes, so many who none of their family have time for and always this thought comes to mind 'they are waiting to die'It is so sad really, life has a purpose, everyday a person is alive is for a reason after all nothing in creation is without reason.
What purpose do the aged and the dying have
maybe to share their wisdom and experiences with the young who sadly do not have the time for this most useful of educations.
Also to show them that youth and health doesnt last forever, seize the day make the most of it and prepare also for that time when you will become old and infirm.
Make each day count. Time is the most precious thing we have. How absolutely irreplaceable each moment is

Fantastic Mujtaba
I presume you forgot to use the flash to unshadow the face... but this is a fantastic compo.

He is living in his world...as he is looking to us I don't know if he cares about something ...maybe some care about family's grave...I like his simple cloths and I like the way you surprised all his inside world...as you noted I don't see pain, but emptiness in his eyes....
TFS,
Elena
