Banana man

Possible crop to eliminate the distractions on the left

That is good enough bananas for me....!!!

a hard life indeed... wonderful expression

i wouldnt crop it, i think the actual crop give us a great sense of equilibrium.

This emptiness enhances loneliness what matches the expression of the banana man. Sometimes such empty space creates longing to fill in that emptines by your own presence, but probably not for many viewers in this picture. Unless you are a real banana lover...

I agree with Gabbu! True! So true!.........

2009-01-29 No, no, no...! He was not angry. This is his normal regular look. Mannar, Sri Lanka
