Beautiful portrait of this man. Well lit and composed. Well done.

A very nice result with beautiful lighting and details, Line!

Splendid work, my dear friend!

I like how you left the background dark and how the craftsman pops out.

Nice documentation and portrait.

Excellent and a beautiful portrait of a working artisan or blacksmith. I called "artisan" because, so few people able to work with they hand  today, except the darn smart phone.  And, he is a very nice character too.

Cheers.

Excellent details and posture caught!

Absolutely superb portrait...  Mike

As others have said ... what a wonderful portrait!  But the lighting and your development really bring such photographic depth to your shot.  Thank you for sharing.

Nice portrait ... good work !!

Thanks to each of you for your visit and comments. I still struggle with color...So I decided to experiment and do a B&W version to my liking and then transfer the adjustments to the color version. I think I may have found a solution I like!

Thanks again, your comments are always much appreciated

Line

Awesome portrait, well detailed with superb lighting.  Compliments!

Excellent composition.  You've captured the craftsman of a disappearing art form focused on creating his one of a kind masterpieces.  Very well done.

Beautiful portrait!

I'm most impressed with the colors and the outfit of the model! The black background fits perfectly also!

Best regards

Thanks again to all of you who took the time to comment. Always much appreciated!

Sincerely, Line

What a wonderful eye-catcher.  Your composition is spot on and the dark background emphasizes the intensity of this craftsperson.

Excellent portrait!
