What I really like about this Swiatek is that contrast you've captured between two ages - or even two different types of men - their atttitudes before the camera are so nicely at odds although the guy on the left still looks strong for his age. The train surely doesn't look like the most comfortable ride on the planet!!

Well done again for your publication!!

best wishes kev

What a SHOT, Swiatek! Everything, the depth, the subdued colors, above all the body language of these weary men and the way that one fellow on the right is loking at you. Great stuff...

Very good one. It's a great portrait for the rightmost subject. His expression is very good. He knows he is being photographed and that counts to me. Your light rendition is very nice too with the shadows playing an important role here. Like it a lot.

i like the character on the right for his unique looks, and the way he looks straight at you. the guy on the left makes a nice contrast to him by having his face turnes and eyes closed.

Oh yes, this is what I love in Central/Eastern Europe, among others... there's never a moment of boredom, there's always a strange character or face to rest our eyes on. Fantastic shot, this is, the mood is right there, the immediacy couldn't be stronger. Those two expressions, one away from you, the other curiously staring at you, are great

Very good photo that shows some interesting and unique faces (OK, all the faces are unique). I like the grin on the face of that bloke on the right. He supposed to be kinda scary cause of his beard and stuff but no. He smiles and looks very friendly just a bit weird. Great job. Cheers!
