Many thanks, Kev!
The title is linked to the cup of coffee that alleviates the man's sad condition for a while: against all odds.
Regards,
Paolo

Many, many thanks, Txules!
The scene lighting was really fantastic by itself and it has been simple to enhance (to the limit of exageration) its effect.
As soon as I saw him, I thought "This is a Caravaggio paint"...a matter of seconds and the camera rised to "steal" this urban portrait.
If you take a look at my previous replies, you can see the BW version too.
Best regards, Paolo

Thanks, Luis, for your considerations.
Btw, I had both versions but I preferred the color one because colors play an important role in directing the attention to the man's face, hands and shoes. Nonetheless, I'm attaching the BW ver.
Best regards, Paolo

The lens itself is very sharp and, together with a bit of digital lightroom, I have achieved this look. A good role has been played by lighting that was really perfect.
