The photo that stood out in the competition

The photo was taken in 2014, with a Canon 600D Dslr camera, with a 50mm lens, f / 1.4. He was filmed in Washington DC during a scholarship won by Kyriakos through the US Embassy at George Washington University. As he describes himself, he took the photo on the subway, when the station, while crowded, was empty at that point and only an elderly man was in the shot.
