[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture has been posted on TrekEarth so I apologize for those who have seen it before. This man was sitting on the street in the old section of Munich. Look at his clothes and notice how well kept they are. The pants are hemmed and the clothes look well kept. His dress is also very unusual in the choice of clothes he was wearing.

The picture is a duotone but I left some color in his eyes to give his stare more intensity. I hope you like it.

The camera used was an Olympus E-1 without a tripod.

Hi Roger
A very interesting man you show here.
About the duotone, I don`t like it too much red, but what bothers me more is the tight framing especially at the bottom.

Hello Roger
Even his pose look studied!
What a strong character that adopt a persona!
He cuts a fine figure and could be qualified of an aristocrat of the street.
Best regards.
Robert

'They' might take it off then Roger.The sharpness of his clothes adds to the disparity.What has life taught him? What story could he tell? What decisions in his life brought him there?Great photo.

Hello Roger,
You make very well use of the light here to give life and a sense of depth!
Good portrait of this special fellow, for some reason I feel he belongs in a more remote place and not in the middle of a large city and the hat for sure doesn't match the rest of his outfit!
Greetings,

There is something untimely about the photo, you have used the right effect here.

I looked twice.

TFS.

An Excellent photo .. interesting subject . I only wish i could either see more of his feet or crop in closer to eleminate the cut off feet. but nicely done

Regards
Ray
