Coastal Colombia Crewman--Take 2

I noticed a strange digital artifact around this gentleman's right ear on

the original post so I removed it and here is the repost without the

artifact. Click for a larger view and Comments Greatly Appreciated.

points for his fixed stare right at the camera and the contrast is bang on!

Thanks Stephanie, "extra points" are always cool. When I look at my 4x5, environmental portraits from 1999 to 2009 everyone is looking at me. I want to try to bring some of that back at least some of the time.

Nice portrait! An interesting combination of the embossed lines of the body and lines of construction

Thank you Svetlana. I like this image a great deal. The only thing that would have made it more interesting for me would have been a cigarette. Not many Colombians smoke....Good for them, bad for my photograph.

nice portrait, good bw treatment

Thanks Niki.
