Photographer’s Note
I was walking along zhongyangdajie of Harbin's commercial street in northeast china during the china's may national holiday, and saw this man sitting in one of the benches along the street. I noticed the way he squints that the wrinkles on his face are showing. So I gestured at him saying if I can take his photograph. good thing he agreed. so I took some shots.
I like this most because of the background poster of a young model which I accidentaly included in the picture.
It shows the reality of life that everyone's going into the path of getting old. sad to say but it's true.

He looks very sceptical about something... Maybe about China's new path or maybe about his personal things, who knows. Very deep and nice photo, well done

Great caption here, Anthony
Playing with the two dimensions is very nice effect here.
The sepia makes it like old memories and the tight crop is a good effect /presentation
Well done
