    Hi Yuri,
    That's an outstanding portraitthumb.gif. I'm glad you did it in B&W, really makes him stand out. He's lived a life and it shows on his face, but he doesn't look bitter or tired. He looks proud and wears his age well. His whole expression works for meclap.gif.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Chris

    Nice shot, great portrait!
    Love the sharpness, and b/w looks awesome!
    If you don't mind a little critique - I would PS-ed the stray hair, it creates a distraction, but that's probably just me!
    Also - your signature would look better in the corner.
    Love your work!

    As always, I love your portrait work. The lighting in this one is amazing and it captures every bit of character his face has to offer. Superb shot.thumb.gifthumb.gif
