The hardest kind of photography is the one that intend to capture emotions, but you've done it here in a very nice way, composing it in B&W makes it a peace of art, very well done, regards,

Hi Maria;
I tend to see it in terms of spatial concepts and time, although I do see your perception of it as well. It is so appropriate for the Henri project. And also the Winogrand project if there will be one. Warm regards,

How could I miss it!
like the composition here - there is a strong contrast between the unsharp foreground and sharp background;
like that the face covers half of the picture -this emphasizes the message;
considered and good title - it fix to the shot;
just excellent

As I already told you, possibly more than once and it is not my invention, the expression of an emotion via graphic or photographic means is the essence of art.
in you "Sadness" the contrast of the sad face in the front of the photo and the dancers in the background brings out the man's sadness even more and as the focus is more on the dancers, the sad man's face being unsharp may express his uncertainty further.
Thank you, dear Maria, for your friendly comment on my "Waiting for the next bus".
Saludas and Shalom,
Rafi

Very interesting shot with the contrast between the seemingly somber man in foreground and the revelers in the background. Focus is perfect here. To focus sharply on either subect would over emphasize that aspect of the composition, whereas you have achieved a good balance here.
There is a tendency (myself included)to always place too much importance on sharpness, contrast, lack of noise,ect...when while these are important, they don't always achieve the optimum result. Just as focus and contrast has added to this composition, so has lack of color with the choice of toning.
