We've all been surprised
Life can sure take some unexpected turns once in a while, and we can only permit ourselves to take a wild guess as to what will happen next for us and for the world. Sometimes we think life will take us down a certain path, only to find out said path never even existed.
I see a man surprised by me taking his picture. At the same time I can't help but wonder if he's surprised by the paths he's traveled down during his lengthy journey of life.Is he what he envisioned being at his age or has his life turned out to be far different?
Embrace the unknown
Weather you like surprises or not, you'll always be surrounded by them. Accept the fact that some things are out of our hands and find joy and excitement in the unknown .
- What do you see in this picture?
- Do you think this man is surprised?
- When's the last time you were surprised?
The reflection of his steps in his sunglasses.
Will he fall?
I hope not @ant-man!
Welcome to Steemit @ant-man!
I think the man is really surprised.
Even though I like colors sometimes can be distracting in some images and can take the focus away from the subject of the photo. Instead black and white focus on the subject. Thanks for your nice photo!
Yup, colours are confusing;)
I don't think so.
Only black and withe.
the black and white gives it classic style. the man seems to enjoy his moment
I do actually agree. Old style never end.
That is a very good point, I never thought of it. But yes, color adds to the senses which can confuse the story or emotion of a shot.
So true, thanks for pointing that out!
Surprise.... hate... mystery...
In every photowalk I make, I have the same question. May I speak with those people before I frame them, or I sould not?
And I always finish my walk with exactly the same question. This is what surprise me and not the capture...
Nice shot Peter
Same here @otsouvalas;)
I know we have some commons with photography. The main reason I followed you was that some of your shots are common with mine (the feelings not the image)
I know, it's great to make commections on this platform. Can't wait to see more of your stuff!
You will have news very soon. :) I got a gift to me. Waiting to make it unbox
He looks a bit surprised. I can see an image reflection in his glasses, his legs and one other image I can't decode. I get surprised everyday.
I am surprised by your comment;)
Lol, why are you surprised?
wow .. this is incredible. old people who are still young at heart .. in Indonesia very rarely found such parents.Thanks have share@peter-parker.
And young people are old at heart @ridwan-kamil;)
That's all right@peter-parker.
So great to see a post from you after a very long time :) nice photograph
Awe, you're making me cry:(
words are very good friends live it we live because we do not know what happens tomorrow
wow very amazing good music buddy
Thank u
videos are good buddy thanks
Great street shot! You were right by the way, I'm loving my E-M10 II!
Great! I love being right;)
Glad you like it!
Great dappled light in this shot!
Thanks @vtravels!
On the picture I see an old man and I think he was surprised. The last time I was surprised by the price of pampers for my baby without action, because I always bought them at a discount )))
I'm not surprised by prices anymore;)
Very nice snapshot.
Thanks man;)
You're welcome.
great shot and awesome thought.
You're a real poet!;)
It does not seem to me much, it's not too surprising.
Surprised frightened - no, surprised enthusiastic, happy - no.
Old seducer ... He does not seem too surprised. Maybe he just saw someone he did not expect to see. He wanted to say something.
A very enigmatic photo.
He sure wasn't expecting me...no one ever does;)
I agree with @shimster. I see curiosity more than surprise. But you took the photo so you'd know better.
I see a reflection in his glasses that I can't make out - maybe it's the photographer's arms or legs? Not sure. He's well groomed and healthy looking as he sits probably on a street bench. He might even have a friend beside him to his right. He looks content.
I'm always surprised when life does the unexpected. I have a propensity to worry about things I can't change. Worry serves no purpose I know that but it's ingrained in me and I have to work on it moment to moment.
Thanks for answering my questions! The reflection is actually his leg. I think we all need to work on our worrying;)
I see an elderly man who is surprised and curious at the same time :) I am surprised pretty much almost every day, because there are so many things in this world, positive and sadly negative too
Your life sounds pretty exiting;)
It actually is :-) thanx
Hey @peter-parker, no new posts in a while. What’s up?
Monday is just around the corner;)
Hey man as usual you write with power and Authority. I really like you deep thoughts...
There's a saying a picture is worth a thousand words, and you have proven that!
Thanks for the nice pic @peter-parker
You changed your avitar!
Besides beautiful photos, you talk about life. And these arguments are very touching. I doubt that there are people who knew exactly who they would be in old age. Just like this surprised man
Righy you are @tanata!;)
Life is like onions, you peel it , u encounter new folds
Ogres are like onions too!;)
I don't see him surprised, at just being looked at something
Wow, that comment blew my mind;)
En su rostro refleja gestos de criosidad, inquietud por algo que aún no tiene claro.
tengo curiosidad también;)
I see him being more curious than surprised to be honest... :)
Sometimes one follows the other @shimster;)
You have a good point here @peter-parker :)
Good post @peter-parker

Thanks pal;)
Su gesto es de una persona asombrada por lo que está viendo! Hermosa fotografía en blanco y negro!
contento de que te haya gustado;)
I wonder if he signed a release for this picture.
Let's pretend he did;)
I see no surprise in the eyes of this already elderly man. I see the kindness and routine of the old acquaintance. As if a man saw his old friend and invited him to just sit with him and talk about matters of daily concern, discuss their interests and hobbies ...
Strong and expressive portrait Peter. I like the higher contrast in this beautiful b&w work. Congrats!
Thanks for seeing;)
