'The City'

why is he crying?

Sounds like your monitor may not be calibrated.

I really like the portait but why is he crying? What is that building?

I get the feeling he may be thinking
Damn that's a whole lot of stairs

I know I would be

maybe " i just been made redundent"

No 'Christmas Bonus' for City workers this year! (yeah right! :roll

My idea was to create an emotive image which was open to personal interpretation, and which combined the two main feats of 'The City' (i.e. buildings and people), so he is crying for whatever reason you feel he is. Personally, the first thing that comes to my mind is the trauma of the rat race, but as I say, it's up to you. Here's the portrait before and after manipulation if anyone's interested:

He's probably crying because what his Barber did to him.

I don't really understand why the two shots have been placed together. You've said to make our own interpretations but to me it's just two random images.

i thought you cryed from both eyes?
and the drop on his chin would be more left, because of the tilt of his head??? or have i got it wrong???

The 'tears' (i.e. water dripped into his eyes) were already in the original photograph, I just enhanced them in the manipulation to make them more visible, so their positions are exactly where they would be.
