Brilliant!!! Oh man he must've been tired as hell I mean he's still holding his half eaten sandwich for god's sake

I'm tired almost every day when I leave from work and I'm sitting about one hour in the bus, but even I'm not as tired as he is He looks really comfortable in there with his leg up like that.

This is just really great and powerful photo with some humor in it. BRAVO Nat!

Thank you Jouni!

Did this happen often in Athens? He can't have been worried about being mugged or assaulted or whatever; however exhausted I feel I'd want to make sure I was in a place of safety before I flake out. Having said that, the way he's got his leg rested I'm guessing he was feeling comfortable and relaxed before nodding off.

I like this shot though, Natty. It's got some real character to it and depending on your viewers' perceptions of the guy's predicament, it's either worrying or amusing. I'd go with amusing.

Even if that situation is not much amusing for the poor man, i watched a lot of smiling faces when looking at his side...

this is a great piece. you've captured the moment really well, specially with that little detail. looking at it closely, in my view, if he didn't have that sandwich in his hand, it could of been portrayed that he was on drugs
or just bored of sitting there for a long time, but on this photo it shows that he was having his lunch or snack, and he's so tired that he just fell asleep eating it. that's happened to me at home lol. i would never live it down if that happened to me in the streets. poor guy. i'm sure he had a good night's sleep when he got home. you did very well with this!

or:
lol his sandwich was so boring he fell asleep eating it! lol just my humour. ignore me.

not to fall asleep in public no, i've fallen asleep in busses, trains and friend's couches, but not on the streets like that. poor guy, hope he didnt get his stuff stolen like his money and stuff.

Hello Nat,
The composition is always perfect , but the theme of the topic is more sad.

Great shot indeed.

It's these sort of pictures that allow people to remember that not everything is as easy as it seems. Even eating bescomes a chore in this one. I really like it. You have a way with symbolizm in your pictures! I can't wait to see more!
