This is a guy who wears his life etched indelibly on his face. He may be old and wrinkled but his eyes are still full of amusement.

Excellent portrait! Like Jack, I saw interest, inquisitiveness and life in his eyes. Wrinkles make us look old, but inside we are the same as always.

He was a very polite, mellow man, despite his obvious problems (he is only 65), and he was more than happy to pose for me.

Thank you for your comments.

Michail,  You always do excellent portraits with interesting characters, really Bravo!  I also think the monochrome fits well for this kind of work.  Top mark!

A very striking image that immediately grabbed my attention. I like the eyes and the details in the face and beard. Best wishes.

Excellent. Congrats!!

 Instant classic!

Just an AWESOME portrait, with just enough detail in the background to give this man a sense of place. The toning and production values are all top shelf as well. Very well done.

Very nice portrait. I am amazed at what you say about is age. I give him 80 or older.
