Between the facial features and the expression this is one memorable face.

Great texture! I love all the lines and wrinkles. The ear looks a bit soft and I find it just a bit distracting.

Comment by Moatz:
Just looking at his "life lines" you can just imagine all of his different expressions, I can look at his face and see one expression, look away, and look again, and he has a completely different expression. Very lovely capture of someone who has lived a lifetime.

Comment by Sachlichkeit:
I like this shot, but part of me is tired of seeing old wrinkly people with a title that plays on their current dermatological state. Then again, his expression is great!--8

Great photo, great exposure, powerful image. those are the good things.

The bad thing is that the soft focus of the back half of the picture does not "add" to the photo. I do love the shot, but not as a soft focus entry. it is a 5 here, but totally sharp from front to back and in a free study or something it would be an 8.

Sorry, I can't see the soft focus here. Lovely image though.
