This old man i saw along the beaches of Boracay, Philippines asked for help, as his grandson is rushed to the local hospital

Oh my goodness, that shot has so much feeling in it...I want to cry looking at his pain. What a great shot.

So how do you get a shot while he is asking for help and in distress? I find this interesting. It is a wonderful shot, But it has a story behind the story, i dont get. He didnt deck you while snapping in his face at such a trying time? lol

Outstanding shot! I can see/feel his pain, anguish, and cry for help in your image.
