Wow, sad.... how can manage to get money to get cigarette...
Anyway, you have capture 'hard' part of his life well, especially in his eyes. The shadow casting around his eyes seems to deepen the effect. Great capture...

Good head shot. Lovely details. Good story telling ability. But the cigarettes is little distracting, any way good technique and impact. Over all lovely presentation. Apprecitable

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


He does't look asthough he is leading a hard life!he looks clean shaven and has a movie look. I think he smoking may make others lives hard. ! But as aportrait this pic has come out well.

Wonderful portrait! Form your notes I think you have really captured what this fellow is all about. I love the lighting the shadow across his face. The angle you took it at and the gaze that seems to look a different direction every time I look at him. Love the composition.Very good job.

And yet he has money for a cigarettes. He does have a weatherworn face. The sun kind of shadows his eyes a bit. The focus is good. I like that the man's face fills the entire picture.
