Wow....

Fantastic details. You can even see the veins on his hands.

Are you in Thailand for holiday? :)

I like these "slice of life" shots, they are very telling. The mood you set here is very expressive.

Wonderful shot!!

I don't see many shoe repair shops here in the states any more. I don't know about others, but our family wears our shoes until they're in a state of disrepair!

A good capture of an interesting working man shot. This will be a good shot for me to recall when I'm in the mood to complain about the shabby state of my classroom. Others don't have life so easy.

Very nice street shot. This is becoming a lost art in the US.

Great shot. I like the composition, so full of things all around. His wrinkled hands reflect how hard he has worked for a long time.
