For me it is all in the colours. The depth of field is very flattering indeed but I love the vibrancy of the aged man's portrayal. I see a faint smile.

I always thought that this is a remarkable story telling image and the fainting back ground adding very interesting touch to it, I am glad it is been selected to be the POW.

Beautiful portrait of an old man, passionating reading his paper (who is Korkutamaz ? A Kurdish(?) Muslim name).
I certainly like the chosen DOF, but I find it somewhat disturbing to see the walls behind, falling in different directions. What happened in the post processing that made the walls fall apart? It cannot, as far as I can see, be the effect of a wide angle lens, unless it has been severely cropped.
All together however a very good portrait that marks.
Congratulations to Mehmet.
