don't be sorry- you took at good shot, you did an art. I would have that shot and die happy, etc. just making that image was worth any endeavour, though Bresson may mumble in his grave, whatever, it's yours, and should be recognized. will it live forever? meh, probably not. did you try, and did that try show through, did the viewer see your wish? yes, and that is priceless.
just understand the moral weight of art- it's heavier than anything else.
shit, you could have replaced a sink today and done the best fucking sink replace ever seen, and it would be only be between you and the sink gods.
art happens between you and the viewer, and photography happens between you and the subject- maybe they don't want to meet.
what if you named that guy and then he goes to get a job in 5 years, and the fist thing they google up is "diabetic junkie homeless art guy?
anyway, bottom line is you did a good shot(not withstanding you murdering it in processing) and you need to let your viewers, and your subject, know more than you you thought happened. show them the truth, not your version.
