Hello Roger,
You're 100 % right: the crop puts even more emphasis on the already characterful face of your model.
I particularly like the light managment here. The light is subtle, revealing not only the different textures of his skin and his hair, but also making this hair cast nice shadows on the skin, adding additional lines.
An artistic portrait of a man who himself looks a bit like an artist.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hi Roger
I noticed yesterday's impressive posting but didn't take time to comment. Can't pass up this one. The crop is impressive jyst as you say - add to the man's inner sole through his eyes. Great capture.

J'aime beaucoup ce portrait de vieil homme.
Le choix du cadrage serré et du noir & blanc donne un côté authentique au cliché :)

I LOVED this pic. I like so much the old people and the child expression, it's always lovely.
Perfect photo, congratulations. I liked so much.

hi Roger

I like this version of tight crop, very nicely taken portrait with good light. The MkII and 85mm f/1.2 is a nice combination for this work. Incredible detail and sharpness under this light condition even at 1/1600s.

Roger,

Well cropped. Great that you kept detail on his left eye.
Have you considered cropping some of the hair on the left. This would accentuate his face and eyes even more.

Regards

Hello Roger,
I think I can understand you. This face has a complete life writen, and his look emanates all the knowledge of the world. As you've said in the note to the previous version, can be a cientist, an artist... one thing is sure we feel life is watching us through that look.
A superb postrait my friend.
Congrats, mb

Hi Roger,
I don't see any room for constructive criticism here, I just have to say I love this photo, great detail right down to the tiny whiskers on his right cheek. Great job.

A portrait full of character - the crop does just the job you intended it to do and really does give this an intimate feel.

Hi Roger:)
I call that hi-quality image and that is on every way.
From white to black trough all grey tones... amazing light work and clarity on the picture is just superb.
Composition by cropping went out great.
This is really fantastic portrait.
