and i bet he has a bunch to tell. wish the shadow from his hat didn't fall across his mouth like it does but there wasn't much you could do about that.
This picture has a number of interseting qualities with the txtural differences between the hair and the beard. This added to the shades and the hat produce a frame for the almost totally obscured face. I do find the shadow from the had rather distracting. This can be reduced with some playing arounf in photoshop...
Wonerful candid portrait of an interesting subject. I get the feeling he's a street busker, but I can't be sure because the frame's in close, which is something I like, it leaves me wondering. [10]
If not for the shadow falling across his face, this would be an excellent photograph. Next, I would suggest that you wait a few minutes for the sun to change positions so that the shadow doesn't distract from your image.
A wonderful photo or a captivating subject. Great cropping and a nice shot of the subject looking out into the open space. I really like the dark background and the DOF. The lighting on his lower lip and beard is a bit harsh, and is the only bit of nitpicking I can do. One of my favorites and I shall score it accordingly.
SUCH a great photo. The title is perfect because that's exactly what I think when I look at him -- like he's got a million interesting stories to tell. I love the composition on this, and the focus is perfect. I just love the picture itself! Perffect 10.
I think the pose and background work nicely, what I think would make this even stronger is a sepia or black and white conversion. The colors don't really add the punch it needs.
Interesting looking fellow. Maybe a tighter crop or more of the face and less of the beard. Sun a bit too bright. Seems most of the focus is on his hat.
