The Coconut Man
This man worked, or perhaps owned, one of the countless food stands along the side of the road between Manila and Taal Volcano. He sold coconuts, as the title suggests, but also the usual collection of mangoes, pineapples, bananas, etc. While we were there buying coconuts from another member of his family, he sat and ate his lunch, affording me an opportunity to get a shot out the car window. I took this photo last winter, on a month-long trip to the Philippines to visit my girlfriend's extended family.

Very nice photo with strong emotion! This man looks like he has a lot of life experience. His eyes looks like they have seen the world. Also very interesting face with many details. I would have preferred a little more space to the right and focus is a little soft, but that is of course hard to get perfect under the circumstances the shot was taken. Very interesting story, and the picture tells a story in itself! Nice job!
