resting in peace

(Bratislav Jovanovic, a 43-year-old homeless man, enters a grave that he uses as a shelter during winter time at a cemetery in Nis, Serbia, on Jan. 10. Jovanovic has been homeless since his house burned down nearly 20 years ago. The last 15 years he has lived in a tomb beside the caskets of his decedents.)
    This picture for me is just a little too close for comfort. Although i feel it helps him not have such hatred for his life if he knows he can sleep every night beside his deceased family. After his tragedy of his home i feel he may find this area comforting and safe. This shot is just wonderful i think, the way his color pops out of the cold picture and the old vibe you get from the graveyard is just a wonderful construction of a shot.
