Bonjour Laurent,

J'aime beaucoup ces "gueules" qui expriment si bien le vécu de ces gens.

Félicitation pour cette série !!

Jean-Pierre...Merci bien de la visite et de l'appréciation;vrai que les Indonésiens ont de bonnes gueules et sont très sympatiques en plus.Salutations-Laurent

Cher Laurent: Avec mes meilleurs salutations et felicitations I want to say that this image literally took me aback! Impressive, powerful.....well, to say it metaphorically, I had to recoil and spring back from my screen upon seeing this intense stare. BW makes it so much more powerful. Bravo!! DG

Daniel..Je suis content que cette image suscite ton enthusiasme.....and I must share your appreciation with this gentle stranger who allowed me to wave a camera in his face for the take.Removing some color does add drama to this type of shot as I have learnt from you and my skillful friends here on PN .I thank you and salute you,mon ami!-Laurent

Superb portrait. Great expression on the interesting "I seen a lot in my life" face! B&W perfect choice. Very well done!

Warren...You are right about the ''seen a lot'' aspect of the man's face;when I encountered him,he was surrounded by young ones probably duly respecting him as a village elder.Glad you like the shot which he graciously agreed to my taking.Salutations-Laurent
