A.K.,

   Wonderful portrait I think I like the b/w best.  Take care, Patsy

Expressive and powerful portrait. I prefer the colored version. Regards.

Excellent capture of his facial expression. One small point; I'd have liked to see a little more of the clothing. The crop of the image, which is squarish, makes me a little uncomfortable. I find the balance a little unsettling, but maybe because I'm too conventional.

Powerful portrait....I prefer B&W version....

Thank you for your comment...i like it! :) !

Thank you very much for your feedback. Samrat, I had to resort to square format,to eliminate distraction. However, for you , another version.

Quite impressive work...

Very impressive portrait of this aged man, I liked both versions the color and the b/w one, every one of them having its own taste, you very well lit this work and brought out all of the fine details, the textures of the face indicate the sort of hard life possibly this man been though and thats whats add to the remarkably composition of this image.

Thank ou for sharing it and wishing you all of the  best.

Great portrait! Best regards, Ilkka

Lovely cropped portrait. Like both the versions. Light and the details are very nice. Like it. Port e dekhlam notun camera kinechhen, ki nilen?

Thanks for sharing. All the best. Regards.

Fantastic face, terrific capture. But I think what I like most about this page is being able to see what you saw and shot, the crop and then the transition to B&W. It absolutely confirms to me that you have not only the eye to photograph but the vision to present in best form via your post-processing. Great job!

Alberto, your encouraging comment is much appreciated.

Maurizio, many thanks for your feedback.

The tousled hair and the calloused face gives this portrait a definite dimension away from the common. Both versions are good however my personal preference is for the colour. 

Excellent potrait.Lovely DOF, details & sharpness.I loved both versions.His gaze seems demanding something(seems lots of quarries in his mind).Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your kind visit to my images.

My best regards,

Kallol

Excellent portrait, and much more impressive in bw. Love his eyes below the matted hair. Take care, Amalda.

Expressive portrait. Beautifull tones
