His name is " Jitro" & if all of you remember he is the same person who was featured in my image "Shepard". This time he really seems to be tired of life due to old age. He was so weak that I avoided to make request him for posing. Technically I was expecting him against sunset light for getting catch lights in his eyes but nevertheless he added another beautiful portrait in my portfolio.The side light also added to enhance the texture of his skin exploring the marks of ages.

What a coincidence!! The same person added two ribbons in my account. The coincidence is that it happened almost 1 year after I got a winning shot of him (Shepherd). I remember it very clearly since this week was with my birthday on 15th.I think I should upload to DPC only in this week of every year considering my third winner in July until yet.
Thanks for your kind appreciation,comments & votes!!

Rarely do I feel compelled to comment, even on blue ribbon photos, but this is just fantastic - great subject matter, beautifully composed and exposed. Kudos, kudos, kudos.
Carries the weathered look perfectly for this challenge. May have cropped a little more of the free space on the left side to centre the shot but still a ribbon contender IMO.
Not voting yet just browsing through the thumbnails, this one stood out. I have to say where were you in the street portraiture challenge!!? this would have been top 3 no doubt. I love your take on the challenge.
Beautiful portrait with excellent textures and tones, perfect DOF (all facial features and headdress in focus), good BG/subject separation, so technically excellent. With all of the hackneyed Topaz processing I've seen so far in this challenge, here it's done very well and to good effect. The most salient aspects to this portrait for me are his eyes and the way the creases in his turbine mirror the wrinkles of his skin. Excellent job!
