the best (for sale) King of all kingdoms

PDE

A disembodied head with a turban, which is capped with a gold insignia?  A venture into the world of the absurd . . .   I suppose that this royal personage rules over his kingdom with absolute authority.  His eyes are shaded, which might impair his vision.  But his mouth is illuminated, indicating that his speech is unfettered.  I guess this is the sort of monarch who could make me feel like more than a mere serf.

Bravo, Maestro!

My best,

michael

Hi, Michael!

The king of all kingdoms is the gold on his turban! May also be himself, but the gold makes him to be that! That was my simple idea!

Thank you for your kind of intricate observation, as always!

Cheers, Maestro!

PDE

Thank you, Jorge!

Indeed I am, ha!

Cheers to that, dude!

Well Pierre, you have certainly gotten our attention with this one...It's fabulous!

Back in the 20th century, there was a very famous TV personality named Johnny Carson. On his late-night talk show he did a character called Carnac the Magnificent. I have included a link below for your reference.

Well done again!

Tim

You always bring a smile on my face. "The Pasha". Yes, "King of your Inner World". Excellent,  and a skillful execution of an idea.. 

Be happy. Cheers.

Aah, the master of disguise strikes again, HA!!!   Nice composition Pierre!!!  AJ

yeah, it resembles a turban :) - sultan of all sultans

Original creation, between the light of the portrait and the tone ocher of the turban in the one that highlights the golden currency. Congratulation.
Regards

Hi, Timothy,

I saw the show and understood nothing but the resemblance of the turbans!

Thank you for your visit and efforts!

PDE

The Sultan, Bela, the Sultan! Pasha is a small fish!

Thank you for your precious visit for remembrance!

Cheers to that!

Hey, AJ!

It is not me who is disguised here, my late colleague, professor of chemistry!

Thank you for your compliment, I sure like compliments!

Cheers to that, too!

PDE

It IS a turban, Maria!

An abstract turban as I am abstract by definition!

Thank you for your precious visit!

PDE

Thank you, Efren,

I'm very satisfied with your positive critique!

PDE

Very creative and original work. Congrats.

Bellissimo, consapevole ed autoironico lavoro, in questa foto-composizione sei sorridente e divertito, amico mio! Mi piace moltissimo!

WOW, splendid & tasteful portrait, thoughtful design for the noble style! and as usual nice effect of  light & shadows, crisp sharpness, elegant black bg. that makes image impressive & unique result!      Congr. 7!

Welcome and thank you, Raymond!

Cheers

Ma, non sono io, amico mio! E 'il mio collega defunto, professore di chimica! Io non sono ancora così vecchio e non ho gli occhi azzurri! La moneta d'oro fa di lui il re di tutti i regni!

Questo sono io!

Grazie per la tua visita preziosa!

Ciaomau

Pietro il offeso

Thank you, Richard!

The sharpness is really good for a scan of a color negative film!

Cheers

PDE

A very nice original and creative result, Pierre!

Thank you, Ruud!

I was expecting you and knew you will say that!

PDE

Wonderful creation of this futuristic sultan.  Take care my friend!

Hi Pierre,

The similarities of the turban and the fact that it is sitting on someone who does not usually wear one were the only features I was highlighting...just some light fun on my end! Again, congratulations on this!
