************************************************


The keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية, kūfīyä; plural: كوفيات, kūfīyāt) is also known as a shmagh, shemagh or yashmag ( شماغ, šmāġ), a ghutra ( غترة, ġuträ) or a hatta , and is a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth ("scarf"), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.

Hi Piotr,
I recognized the doors of Tunisia at the first sight! And I dressed a similar scarf on my head for my trip in the desert! :) Very good memories.
This portrait is so convincing. Good use of this strong light. I like the contrasts created and the fine details.
Very well done! Annie

Hello Piotr,
This is a nice portrait, very detailed and well exposed. I'm not sure that he's happy to be photograph though :) The blue in BG makes the man stands out very well. This is a nice one with interesting notes. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Piotr, splendid portrait of this old man with great expression, wonderful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Piotr, The old man's gaze intensifies his skin texture under what I perceive an intense sun. A good portrait. Regards, Danilo

Excellent portrait on this old man. Spot on exposure has the colors and detail looks superb. Amazing texture in that wrinkled face. Dramatic expression. Very well done!

Good portrait, Peter, even if a bit unforgiving. You can see the heat on your subject's face and it seems he was not too happy to pose.
Regards,
Tibi

Hi Piotr
You give us timely evidence that that a face doesn't have to be pretty to be photogenic. I love the clarity you've achieved in his features, and the door is a great background. I wonder if he really is all that old, or whether life has simply worn itself into his eyes?
A marvellous piece of work.
cheers
Stephen

Witaj Piotr,
wspanialy portret.
Wesolych Swiat oraz Szczesliwego Nowego Roku.

Hi Piotr. You have perfect focus and depth of field to show the very interesting features of this man. I think if it were my picture I would crop a little from the right-side of the image. Either way it is excellent.

Hi Piotr,

Outstanding clarity and rich colour make for a superb portrait. Good note. Did you have to pay the gentleman for taking his pic? or was he accepting?
I found it not easy to take photos in Marrakech....
