Hello Mehmet
A nice street portrait. Lots of character in the face of the subject. I like the straight on view and eye contact. A couple of thoughts on the treatment. I like the b&w treatment but I find it a bit flat. The low contrast makes his face and beard appear somewhat soft. With a subject like this I think a higher contrast look would give it more impact. I did a quick edit to show what I mean. Did some tweaking and added a slight vignette. Just offering it as an alternative, you might like it just the way it is. Just my 2 cents.
Regards
Greg

For me, I would prefer the edit to sit somewhere between these two images. I do agree that a little more contrast would help to add punch, but I think not as much as in the new version. Also, it seems as though too much "clarity" or some such was used, giving the shot an overly processed, too hyper-real quality that I don't personally like.

Hi Mehmet

I like the original version, it could be percieved that there is an element of natural softness, but that isn't always a bad thng when it comes to portraits, and it must be stressed that the image is well focused and sharp. Great character portrait!

 

Compliments & Best Regards

Vert Nice portrait indeed. Great character, And amazing tension in his eyes. I much prefer the original version. It's à detail, but i would feel more confortable with à real square format. 

Friendly. 

Philippe.
