[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We drove up the mountains to the small villages in Sicily. The people in the squares were curious about us and very wiling to have their pictures taken. They didn't smile necessarily and appeared more natural than any people I have met before. They seemed very comfortable being themselves.

Hi Roger
Great portrait of this old men
Bravo
Ciao,Braca

BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT...
ANDRO

Another great Sicily portrait, Roger. Funny how this guy's expression makes him seem really put off about being photographed, but at the same time he is such a great subject. The deep crags in his face give so much character and they are well-shown by the sharpness and light management. Good choice of b&w. Nice job.

This is such a beautiful portrait. I love the b&w, and the detail and expression are really great! TFS and have a great day!

Beautiful - great lighting, well composed image.

Hi Roger,
Very nice work, the light and shadows are very effective, as is your positioning to take advantage of same.
Lots of miles on, and stories behind no doubt, that face and those eyes.
Good capture and presentation.
Thanks,
Wilt

HI Roger
The sight of an elderly person are always pleasant to see especially if the face is wrinkles showing signs of wiseness..Wonderful b&W portrait and good composition.

Hi Roger,
Wonderful portrait of this proud looking man with a map of sorrow and joy to be seen on his well weathered face. B&W was the perfect medium for this timeless capture.
Regards, Tom

This is great--I like the crooked collar.
