    Hi Yuri,

    The contrasty B&W and his intense facial expression combine to make a very striking portrait. I don't know if it was the exposure or your post processing, but it looks like his extreme right side is just slighty blown out around the cheek and beard. Very nice! thumb.gif

    BTW, I looked at your profile and it seems that you and I were born only 10 days apart. My birthday is March 19th. Yup, 1956 was a very good year!

    Bold and spectacular Yuri. Good masculine pose. This photo has everything going for it.

    Wow, absolutely wonderful! I love how the left eye still remains lit eventhough that side of his face remains in shadows. Very impressive shot! thumb.gif

    the face is wonderful.

    Spectacular photo. The left eye is almost spooky, but its what really makes this photo pop. I assume this was done in post. The focus is tack sharp. thumb.gif

    I always look forward to your posts!
