I really like this shot. The whole mood of the picture, which I would assume from the title would be glum, is lifted by the mans guitar, but not only that. It seems that you've managed to capture whatever spirit or hope this man still has, which is amazing to me. It really brings the whole picture to life, and makes it more real in a way.

I really like that you didn't crop away the leaves and so on in the background, the colours in the leaves, and the mans bam-blue nailpolish is a statement of it's own. It's sort of an image of hope, escaping from pandoras box, if you know the myth.

One thing I did miss, is a bit more of the edges around him,I suppose. He is a bit TOO centered in the shot, in my opinion.
But an uplifting and overall very nice shot!
