The old sage

I think that I know this guy!  I used to believe him him but then I lost faith when I didn't always get what I wanted.

Seeing is believing ... once again

Very nice portrait - composition, lighting, contrast and focus.

He really projects that image -- nicely composed.

Very interesting and expressive portrait!

I'm very happy to meet you again and with a so great portrait, bravo, 6! Ciao, Maurizio.

Thanks for coming to visit my page.

I know I haven't visited for quite a while; it's definitely not because of you.

This image is aptly titled.  We tend to stereotype folks with this sort of appearance as being wise.  Sometimes this pays off, and sometimes . . .  In the meantime, the detail in this gentleman's beard is precise, and the tonal range appears to be spot on.

My best,
