Hi Manuj,
What an artistic portrait of this man showing sorrow in his face!
Great stunning eyes and fabulous light adorning this masterpiece!
The grey tones are marvelous and the features of the face are well produced.
Great work, I'm speechless!
Congratulations!

Good Morning Manuj,

I always find my heart lurches when I see a portrait like this. Is it guilt, is it sympathy ... it certainly is a desire to have everyone with enough provision to live healthily and have a lifestyle that creates self respect.
The close-up, with no distractions, focussing on those plaitive eyes, makes this a powerful shot. The arm across the chest is body language we can all understand.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello, Manuj -
Once again you are able to capture the humanity of your subject; his downcast, faraway eyes and his arm across his body communicate his condition. Great range of tones and composition; the lighting shows the contours of his skin. Well done, my friend.

Hi Manuj

The TL master of portraits has done it again! Superb b&w image here, with a good tonal range, & marvellous shadow detail. Effective tight framing & good to have no eye contact. Tfs!

dear Manuj mehta,
I can see a glimpse of Buddha in his eyes,
human is after all beggars or robbers to the earth.
do you choose yourself as a fat robber or a thin beggar?
anyway this dark tone is nice to express his figure and atmosphere,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

The desperation in his eyes and the B&W image turns this into a vintage shot. The Poem is also very moving and thought provoking....Oh is brilliant photographically too...
