Comment from stormspawn


The contrast and the amount of detail you captured here really set off the attitude and defined character of this man. You captured his personality very well in this image. Your pictures are always so perfect, I'm running out of things to tell you because I really am lost to words and ideas when I try to think what to critisize... You're so full of exceptional talent...

Comment from Candy Barger


Wonderful picture Sounds like he may have had a rough life,but you couldn't tell that in this photo.I think you caught alot of character in this picture.I like the expression you caught on him,even if his eyes are not open all the way.The lighting is great and it is a very interesting sstory to go with it.It seems to me that you put alot of effort into taking this man's picture and it paid off.

This is just amazing all the emotion that is packed into one simple portrait. The color and detail is fantastic and I think the cropping was just enough. You really give character to your subject.

Comment from blackkiss


nice one. i like it.stalking people isn't such a nice thing ! but the result is ok. i mean the black and white photo is a lot more expressive than the color one.this is why i rate this with five stars.keep up the good work.

Nice portrait there~
The b/w is nice too... just i think it lack of some contrast.... but still a lovely portrait for this gentle, kind old man.

This is character photography at its best, I find Willy's profile very intriguing and full of history, you know he has some tales to tell! the framing and clarity is excellent, and admitadely i sometimes think b&w can give that little extra in portrait. exceptional!

Comment from gatewaywest


Wow...this photo is amazing. It seems to tell a story right off the bat. The focus and composition are both beautiful. I think putting it in black and white was a great choice. The entire photo has such a unique quality to it and really seems to say so much about the subject. Thank you for including the story behind it, I found it very interesting!
