The idea is of a man suddenly made homeless with a few meagre possessions in a bag and a train ticket to who knows where. My friend Keith who has modelled for me many times did a great job of posing an expression to reflect this.
Here's another shot from the day.
I considered using this shot for the contest but I feel Keith's expression on the chosen shot reflects the emotion of sadness and dejection a little better.
