    I like the scene, the lighting and that it's in B&W but I find the motion blurred dove a bit of a distracting eye-magnet.

    Imo the image would have been more compelling had the dove been stationary or even not there. I would have cloned out the blurred dove.

    Or another option crop from the bottom of the image to just below the dove. It would place more emphasis on the man and the lighting falling on and surrounding him.

    Just my $0.02 worth and thank you for sharing 😊

    Thank you for your comments, guys.
    Danno, I don't see it as a distraction, but as a surprising little gift...

    Nice job doctor. I especially like the angle of the light.

    The old man moves with a cane, painfully and slowly. The dove has no restrictions, on the ground or in the air. It's a wonderful juxtaposition and, for me, it is the story of this touching image.

    Thanks Bob, it was seeing that light, and wait for a "volunteer"...

    Thank you Linda, that's a nice way to interpret it.

    No problem. Everyone will see/interpret it in their own way 🙂
