Superb composition and tones.
This is one that is perfect for B & W.
Into my favorites & one of the best 10 in the challenge IMO and worthy of a ((10))
what a personality you have captured here! excellent work. i hope this isn't getting overlooked in this super-sized challenge, and that viewers are giving this the time necessary to appreciate it. thanks for sharing. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!
I feel you need most of the background posters cropped and cloned out this man needs no distractions behind him, wonderful shot in B&W. Clean up the background and you have a "WOW" shot.
Great photo but I'm not sure if the background was supposed to be blurred like that. I appears to be blurred only on the right side behind the gentleman. As for the rest of the photo in my opinion you couldn't have asked for a better person to shoot. He is filled with character. Very well done. <8>
Cool portrait of this Rastafaria. I like it his pose, the light and the light in his eyes. The tone works really well. It is nice to see these telling objects in the background, like the portrait of Haile Selassie.
Terrific subject - the subjects worn face in combination with that background really does tell a story. The flare over the photos in the background is a little distracting, but this is still a genuinely terrific image.
