Y ya van 5 personas que han elegido esta foto como "fav" , es francamente estupenda , te manejas requete bien con el blanco y negro ; en mi humilde opinión debería haber acabado en un mejor puesto , había muy buenas fotos en este challenge por supuesto pero algunas mejores que otras (incluyo la tuya , por supuesto en las reseñables).
Enhorabuena y gracias por compartir.

Nice shot.
It's the eye contact that makes this (and most portraits) i feel.
I'm abit undecided on the legs in the background, they do help with the environment, but alo detract abit of attention from the main subject.

Nice cultural portrait. Your detail on the face is really well done. Though you can tell he is polishing a shoe, I would have liked to see a bit more separation between the shoe and the background. It could be my moniter is just too dark, but the darks really do run into each other

Lots of character in the main subject. The legs behind him, though, are a bit distracting, and the image seems selectively a bit oversharpened.

Outstanding photo - I love the lighting and the b/w conversion is awesome.

Very nice image. I'm not sure weither I like the legs in the back or not. The problem is they were the first thing my eyes went to and kept taking my attention but in context it is kind of need to see them behind the shoe polisher. Great contrast. A tad over edited for my taste.

Fine portrait
but a little too much high dynamic range about the trousers and table

This would be just perfect without the legs in the back. 7.
