Good choice of B/W. I like the mood of this picture, the waiting of this man, patient, almost resigned. A shoemaker, but without shoes. Good balance of the light.
Best regards

What a portrait... his face tells us everything, well captured dramatically-looking moment. Good daily life scene from this city with unpronouncable name (for me:)) with your high-standard quality. TFS!

Hi Manuj,
This B&W presentation, I must admit, is excellent!
A great satisfaction in the expression on the face of this street shoemaker.
Marvelous lighting with a nice contrast and beautiful grey tones.
Very sharp and nicely composed.
Anyway a masterpiece of photography!
Well done....you're really a winner, my friend.
Best regards and have a good day.

hello manuj,
I like very much how you distributed the space and the elements in this photo - everything seems to be exactly where it belongs.
you always manage to sum up an idea, a thought with a "simple" portrait - simple as in accessible to all, visually and intellectually. your photography is highly educational, in the best possible sense of the term =)

dear Manuj mehta,
he lives having delightful hope or not, I cannot know,
but his eyes look more keen than travelers in every city for sightseeing...
also I don't know the relation letters on the stone wall and his living shop,
but it makes humorous contrast, like in the old cinema of C. Chaplin.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Des petits métiers des rue qui méritent aussi leur mise en valeur et tu fais très bien de nous les présenter.
Félicitation.
Bonne journée.

Hello my friend..

I am late again:)
this is so interesting, I am looking at this image for a while now, lots of details, elements that portray the daily life scene and your note...first the look of patience, the spirit of it, his bare feet!!! that frown, I must say you always manage perfectly to transmit their feelings with each portrait differently, as if the photo is speaking out loud... good choice of B/W and top quality post again...

best regards Manuj

Hi Manuj, Another fine street portrait for your vast gallery. I like the way we seem to be able to see the character of your subjects. This man would appear to be good at his craft and he survives through making and reparing shoes for the passing people. TFS. Murray.
