i like the background on this shot, he looks like some sort of worker... however the title doesnt help me figure out whats going on... still a great shot, a more helpful title would have been good, but o well
This portrait says to me that this man has had a hard life. The background fits with his appearance. For me, I wish the colors were a bit...brighter and not so muted, but I still think it's a good portrait.
The shot looks good - exposed well and he seems dressed appropriate for his surroundings so it sets a complimentary scene. As a 'stranger' viewing the image it doesnt hold a lot of interest for me nor have much of an impact, but it works as a portrait. Only technical issue is that it could do with being a little sharper.
