great portrait... well done

great b&w +9/9!

Excellent capture!

His facial expression is something out of the ordinary

Good use of bw.

Very strong portrait. The *only* thing I find slightly distracting is the bit of shadow in the bottom left, but do not crop it out and face losing more of his arm or his leg out of the frame. This is very strong. Great work! - jason

By the way - I like the closer portrait, but I think that he should be higher in the frame for better balance - more shoulders would do it.

Very nice portrait.

Beautiful black and whites, dof, and sharpness!
Top marks Rushi, and a happy and creative new year!

A good portrait and good choice of B&W.

Excellent portrait!
Very good details!

LMAO... I was thinking, and changed my mind will be back to edit it !!!

Excellent shot ,really great! The expression, composition, pose are very nice. Very strong picture!
+10

Excellent Portrait shoot.

Very nice capture!.....the face is impressive!.....in my opinion the white clothing grabs too much attention.....A closer look of his face may work better.
Glad to see you back.

its a picture tht talks to u ....

i think a little darker shirt color would be better

This is a great portrait, the lighting and contrast are wonderful. I like this one better than the up-close portrait, partly because I think on the other one there is too much sky above his head, but cropping that extra sky out and showing more of just his shoulders/face would be cool.

next time dont put the poor man facing the sun...look how grumpy he is
i'm having a bit of compositional issues here..first of all for me its a bit too cramped, i might have put more space on top and to the right. also, the grey coner in the lower left corner seens a bit distracting too imo
sorry for the nagging comment

good choice of B/W and very good portrait! well done. +9

Great photo, nice and sharp!

captured nicely...

Sorry man, I forgot !!
Well what can i say, you were very kind to send me the origional file of the image you took on the day...
So after viewing that, all I can say about the image posted above is "WOW" not in the way it is normally posted but to mean I think you produced a first class image and your choice of black and white was and is perfect for this subject.
You have a good eye for photography and any negative crits are really not worth mentioning.. WELL DONE 10+

Very nice portrait
Great work.

I love the cropped version
Great pic to study ! I'd love to do a sketch from this pic..give me a signal if possible.

Beautiful portrait and B&W! Top marks!

An awesome portrait, Rushi. Nice cropping, contrasts and sharpening.

Good one, and I think the hard like does actually work well here, it puts some emphasis on his age by making all the facial features a bit harder.
You could have left his right arm (you see it on the left in the photo) in the frame.
It's a pity the shadow got on the clothes near the bottom, doesn't bother too much, but it would probably be a bit better without it (I'd try cropping it out by cropping a bit of the bottom part, at least just to see whether it works well for the image overall).
Also, it looks slightly tilted (looking at the milestone and the background behind the old man).

Those are just minors, though. It's a pretty good portrait, especially the close portrait.

unbelievably good!
