Photography by Nate Lam from East Lansing, United States

Wonderful shot very nice feel to it and it looks great in monochrome.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Nice one mate. The strength of the contrast and tone brings the image into its most basic form: the lone man and his disposition. A nice portrait that's bleak yet involving and shot very well.

Makoto from Sapporo, Japan

こんにちは、Stuさん。
He looks a little tired. But a little comical too.
I think this image is exactly "Japan Through A Lens". Nice take Stu-san!

You captured his character here! Good job!

Still from Valence, France

This man seems to be lost in its thoughts... This feeling is enforced by the blurry background! A beautiful work!

Paulo Oliveira from Odivelas, Portugal

Ecxelent B&W photo and moment!

Carol from Turkey

You've captured his mood brilliantly. What an expression, what a posture. I can see him taking a deep breath as he moves off.

Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan

Thought provoking image. I wonder what he's looking at and more importantly what he's thinking about. Nice shot with the 200mm mate...can't see any camera shake on the man at all!!

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

objectif-plume from Belgium

ce portrait est magnifique et, je ne sais pas très bien pourquoi, je trouve que c'est un peu triste.

Kate from Kyoto, Japan

Great photo, Stu. Contrast is perfect. He looks so pathetic.

Evelyn from New Milford, United States

It really looks like he's having a moment there.
I love his sneakers.
And I like the effect that sets him off from the background. I thought, at first, that the bridge-like shape in the back was a traditional style bridge. The blur out makes it look ornate, for some reason, instead of industrial.

Michael from Glasgow, United Kingdom

This is perfect for B&W, excellent contrasting tones. He does seem a rather lonely figure there and the background just adds to the atmosphere.

Untitled from Kyoto, Japan

Like the way this turned out. Wonder what is going through his mind. It has a terribly sad, forlorn but evocative quality about it. A very good capture indeed.

Locina from Québec, Canada

It feels like there is such a burden on his shoulders, a heavy life.
