Willy's cute. Just makes you want to pinch his cheeks.

I think the picture is perfect.

- Great Framing
- The B&W adds a nostalgic touch to the photo
- The focus is nice. I like how you can see the lines in his hands and face
very clearly. Gives you a feeling that he's been through a lot.

Well Done!

Comment from Iondrion


It's totally different from everything else I've seen of yours. However, I still like it. The picture drips with emotion. You really have "the eye", yea I know sorry for the cliche.

    Thank you londrion!! I don't have a straight line subject focus with my photography, I just find my passion in many areas.
Comment from Ramona12


He looks like a colorful character, LR. This portrait looks great in black and white. Nice and sharp too. And again your story is so charming.

Comment from Niall


i think i seen this before in colour and was very impressed but viewing it in black and white really adds a different perspective to it and enhances it greatly, maybe you should think about trying b and w a bit more...

Comment from davideyoung


This is a nice candid portrait of this man. I would prefer a slightly wider frame, but this still works. The focus and lighting are good. Nicely done.

    Thank you so much JIM!! Gajnath did a painting of the original in color, what a thrill it would be to see an oil painting from you in Black and White!!
Comment from strikerx98


What an interesting character. Not seein the color, I can say I do like the black and white. You can capture the details in his aged skin and hair. I also like that there is a slight glimps of U.S. implying he's wearing a service jacket. Maybe a vet?

    Thank you so much striker!! Yep, a vet, haven't learned more than that yet, but I do continue to work on his story.
Comment from JOE BLATNIK


I love this old guy. Drunks are good guys too. I bet he can tell a good story. Black and white is cool for this picture. I think the light looks a little harsh. I take that it was pretty sunny.

Comment from ezowacki


This is just an amazing photograph. With such impact on the character of a wonderful man. You did a great job telling his story with you photography. Great technical excellence and good lighting. I think I like the black and white better but both are great. A joy to view. Keep it up. I also like the angle of his beard it draws a nice line acroos the photograph. Just my thought.
