A farmer from Jodhpur India who came to an eye camp to have his eyes

examined. His face, and his demeanor, were of total dignity.

I really like this. Among other things, I think the cropping is interesting for a portrait. And as for the dignity, it sort of shines through the photo. Thanks for posting!

pretty astonishing, if there is manipulation I can't detect it, which is the best kind of course. strong sense of character, aggressive framing pushes the face out towards the viewer. balance of tone and color strengthens the integrity and the sinuous detail of line make this a memorable portrait. congratulations.

Thank you for all of your kind comments. I very much appreciate it. I first saw this man in a line of patients, screening for eye problems at an eye camp near his village in rural India. He told me that he was a farmer, and that he lived with his wife and son and their family. He did not regard himself as anything special. But to me, he had the face of Moses.

Wonderful light, expression, natural tones and detail. I like that this photo is not cluttered with colour, making it nearly monochrome. Well done!

Wonderful portrait --- by any chance did you use the tonal contrast filter?  Congratulations.  7/7
