single photos The old Gentleman

I love it.

Thanks Marc

Hi Wim:

A great image showing tremendous dignity. You really have used DOF and contrast well here.

A word of caution on the title. 'Old' is a relative and subjective term. My father, who will be 90 in November, refers to anybody he sees over that is over 70 as "that old guy".

Regards, John

Wim, a really nice and sophisticated portrait. Great details in his expression. Beautiful black and white tones. 

Great portrait with beautiful details and lovely soft tones. Well done! Best regards, Linh Dinh

Weer een prachtige opname, Wim!

I find it such a charming and whimsical shot. The gentleman is so congenial in appearance and one whom I'm sure would be of good humour. Lovely shot. Beautiful soft DOF is perfect for this black and white shot.  Well done Wim

Thank you, John, Gail, Ruud, Linh and Tony for your comment.

John, I mean off course with "old" as in respect.

Lovely, lovely, LOVELY portrait.

Thank you Emmanuel

Interesting portrait!

Thank you Svetlana

excellent, Heinz

Thanks Heinz

I love this Wim. It looks so much like my grandfather, an old English gentleman who wore a Bowler hat and had wire framed glassed.  I believe this man is wearing a Top hat, not a Bowler, but still the resemblance is striking.

Thanks Linda
