Obviously the quality of an old print scanned is a bit ropey, but the expression is wonderfully captured.. I like the B&W treatment and although his hair is overexposed this gives an ethereal quality to the image.. I would recommend retouching the spots or blemishes that are visible throughout the frame - such as the white spots showing in the shadows under his chin and in the top right hand corner.

Where in Cyprus did he come from? We lived there for a couple of years in the 70's - loved it. In fact my bro (pumpkinman) was born there.. A beautiful island!!

Cheers
