Jim is an ex dairy farmer. He still keeps sheep on his farm...a lamb died in his wife's arms only minutes before we shot this.

This is a powerful image, such presence and it's wonderful to hear that backstory.

I love the expression of his face, the looks says so much. :clap:

WOW.
This is perfect!! reminds me photos from the FSA in the u.s during the 30's economic crisis. for me the fact that you took the picture after the lamb died is reinforcing that idea and putting it all in to context.

b&w is stunning, but the best thing is the look on his face. seems like you are close to him in a way...
amazing work! i wish i would have done it.

YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST.

Nice shot, can't relate it directly to a farm though. But that doesn't matter.
Very good light, and composition!

He is quite used to sorrows like that concerning the animals but my heart was pounding..it was a strange feeling..I'll always remember that when I look at this photo in years to come I think.
thanks Scott
