    I like it! The picture leaves one wondering what life has dealt this fellow and all that he's seen in his years. I'll keep him in my prayers tonight.

    I have often wanted to photograph I guess you would call them street people or basically the homeless. I see them dowtown Denver and just wonder what their life story is. Would love to see this in BW if you have the opportunity to convert.

    Like it. I wonder if you added a little more contrast would it give you deeper tones. He has such great character to his face. Do you mind if I download pic and give it a try on the conversion as well. BW conversions are something I continously try to perfect. If you would not prefer that I download and play with the pic I truly understand. Keep taking more of these as I would love to see them.

    I thought it needed more contrast as well. Great portrait, well done.
