This man was selling limes on a steet corner in Havana. I shot a couple of pics of him and then bought some limes which I later used to make lemonade.

Hi Todd; great B&W portrait. nicely framed too.

Another great portrait here Todd to follow on from yesterday.
Excellent work - the grainy look makes for a really gritty, national geographic type of image....

Hi, Todd,
A very strong BW portrait.
I like the BW solution.

Tood

la nitidez y la edición en grises le da un toque muy especial el rostro verdaderamente de impresión

I love lemonade, We say it Sikanjbeen. Water, Lemon juice, Suger. Black salt and ice.( Ingrediant for Sikanjbeen)
Nice skin tones and good expressions.

Hi Todd,
Wow ,i may not be a specialist in portraits myself but i can make the difference , this one is just perfect ! I particularly like what you've done with the Bg ,the blur and grainy aspect of it effectively brings out your subject wonderfully, it's a neat job with excellent detailsand such great depth ,
Bravo ,
TFS, Carol
Good idea to buy limes from him too, way to go !

Todd,

A very good portrait which goes to show that BW is sometimes more effective and beautiful than colour.
I like the contrast.

In general I think it would be a good challenge to make a portrait of a happy person in Cuba ! They surely excist, but I see them rarely !!

Nice portrait with fine detail and skin texture.

regards Mark :)
