This is an amazingly great imnage. This is just about everything I wish I could accomplish with my photography.

The sharpness, the color, the depth of the tones, not to mention you seemed to have captures a lot of the spirit of this man.

He may have been a bit shy, but his gaze into the lens is firm and sure. Very well lit, and absolutely deserving of the blue.

Congratulations on an outstanding image.

I love all the photos in the series, but for some reason I am most drawn to this. Its unique DOF and deep color are amazing.
