Wow! Powerful portrait. The skin tones and whiskers are a great compliment to the outstanding feature of the eyes.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. There is very much a story behind this photo portrait of this elderly gentleman. I/we the viewer experience a level of disquiet as we look upon him. He is not smiling. The eyes that normally are the window of the soul are shut. The eyes are no longer seeing. Sights that were once common to him are now just something that lives in his mind's eye. As much as he can no longer see and is blind, we too are blind for we can no longer read his expression by looking into his eyes. Emotions are hidden unless he chooses to show a smile or frown. But we, the viewers can be blind in another fashion. Our discomfort may get the better of us that we choose to avoid this sight. He has seen and I am sure has many stories to tell some sad, some with joy and some that may even bring genuine laughter. What has he seen, what can he tell us, what can he teach us about life and perhaps ourselves? These are all questions that go through my head as I gaze upon this man. This photo shows a human interest story...one that I am sure there are more details to be read from the commentary that at this point in time is hidden to us.
