Photographer’s Note
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
I have rarely seen such red bloodshot eyes as i saw of this old man.And mind you!! RED EYE correction was switched on in my camera!! i did shoot his full front face profile but cropped it from the centre as i think that a potrait enhances itself when the centreline passes through the nose.i will host the full face in the workshop shortly.
His eyes and his mane reminded me of Rocky and i could think of only one song;" eye of the tiger" by Survivor when i chose a title of the pic.
hope you like it.
cheers!!

Quite a stunning photo! Perfect focus and contrast. I like the half-face composition too. Here's an idea - desaturate the entire face except the eye (it'll be remarkable...
