A lot of people have felt the pressure of the seemingly endless stream of bills. The man in this photo is feeling that pressure, the wedding ring represents the fact that not only is he responsible for himself but also the one he promised to support, the empty cans represent how he makes his misery worse by trying to drown out reality.

Wrong contest...
The pain is obviously there, it's self-inflicted from the alcohol, because of the misery of the piling of the bills. And I'm pretty sure the depression is obvious.
great effort, and on theme, well done author.
Totally on theme in my opinion...people deal with pain this fashion all too often...it's obviously not a "party" shot and the pain is clearly there..great set up and shooting author, GL!
I totally agree that it is 100% on theme! And a great shot too!
very good, and perfectly on theme.
Nice take on the theme......GL..And yes forgot to mention the snap is also really nice.....The overall scene has used cans and a calculator with a lot of papers and confusion...Its good....
thanks for all the compliments, but forgive my ignorance what does "the snap" mean?
'snap' is a term used by some to mean shot or photo. It is usually used when describing pics taken on holidays ..........like 'holiday snaps'!!.......it is not usually used when describing deliberate shots like those we see here.
So far, best one I've seen. GL!
I like the use of the symbolism (wedding ring etc.) . The darker lighting helps the mood, too. Good job.
Great! I like it!
I think it is perfectly on theme too...he's hurting himself by drinking--the pain is all the stress---too much stress can make you feel numb.
well done
Very well done......the whole thing works. Wonderful shot and idea!! GL
