I like the expression and wrinkles on his face. The post on the left lower quadrant is distracting. The white line on the building, guide my eyes to man.

Effective image. Well captured. If possible I would clone out the post... but still, great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Loneliness
I'm not sure whether he's actually lonely or it's as result of the anti smoking laws, he's been banished to the outside.

+1, clone it or content aware fill it, it's competing with the main subject of interest which is him. Can't always be done at the time of taking, but part of the joys of PP.

Great shot.

I think you are right on "he's been banished to the outside" because in Spain you are not allowed to smoke in bars, restaurants, etc....

Thanks for the advice!
