Wow, nice color and love the almost abstract appeal of this. Good job.

A nice capture, the picture has a good festive taste to it, lots of colours, a very nicely captured motion. Compositionally it doesn't work too well for me: if not for the title, I would not have guessed that the emphasis was on the star.

Amazing portrait, from the expression to the black and white tones, this is a well executed and emotional photo. Best of luck :) + fav

Comment by Azrifel:
You see this face, relatively old and full of grooves and grey hairs. He must have experienced a lot by now and the dirt on his face suggest that he is working with cattle this moment and it is a hard job. But the look is a bit fearsome, like he can combat a raging bull anytime but fears to be photographed. The only other emotion that comes to mind is sadness, like he just lost someone or a calf.

Great portrait, well lit, good toning, good composition.

I had seen your image before here and on PBase and have always found it very striking. I do however find, every time I look ati it, find that the eyes are a bit soft when comapred to the sharpness/detail on the nose. Almost seems like the camera focussed on the chin / nose rather than the eyes. Excellent B&W treatment.
