very nice, Jesus.  It's not often we get to see examples of the 50 APO on film.  I always find it interesting - the clinically perfect optics really come through in the photo.  I'll bet you'd get a materially different rendition if you took the same photo with, say, the 50mm dual range summicron.  Neither is superior to the other.  Just different renditions - each sublime in its own way.

Exactly each lens with its own signature different but not better.

Do you you personally know he is sad and angry? The relaxed frowning expression is not uncommon with older people. It might have nothing to do with how he feels.

 

I was there and he was not happy at all just few seconds after a argue with his wife.  :)

 

I don't know how the old people looks like in your area but in Spain they use to smile and enjoy like young guys...........we are like that.

Jesus - What if he was smiley but doing so in a sarcastic manner while fighting intensely with his wife?  Would that make him "happy"?   One way to interpret Pico's comment is that you might want to leave it up to the viewer to interpret the man's expression.    I can see how the man's actual feeling might be relevant if you were doing a documentary on sad and angry men.  But me thinks that you intend for this photo to fall into the category of "street photography" or "street portraiture," in which case the more possible interpretations for an expression or behavior in a scene the stronger the image will be.  Telling us upfront what exactly is going on might have the unintended effect of steering the viewer toward a specific interpretation.  Not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill here.  Just pulling a little on the thread left by your exchange with Pico....
