Amer, You created a very striking contrast here. The beard so sharp and bright, the face much more subdued and soft. His expression is very thoughtful and kind.

Comments&rets are welcome..!

Wonderful job! I love the flint of light in his eyes. - Lex

The highlight of this photo is indeed the flint of light in the eye. The soft face and the calm expression are in a stunning contrast to the prominent beard. I like it. Karl

Strong portrait of the face, with a beautifull light

Amer: I came to your portfolio to thank you for your rating of my photo "Double Trouble" (gulls with lightning). And then I discovered this portrait. Wonderful job! The facial expression, the soft eyes and then stark contrast to the beard could not be better. And the cropping - makes a very big difference to me. Is that part of a hood at the upper right? The cropping adds by the leaving out. Fantastic!

This is really classic, excellent work. Ed
