Excelling image as always Carlos, I find the white area on the left distracting, but otherwise another cracker from your good self.

The lighting creates an abrasive appearance to the image Carlos. This is a positive in that it brings out the imperfections in his skin by creating shadows and strong highlights. That in combination with his squinting allows us as the viewers to feel the brightness and heat of the sun.

As always a quality portrait full of life and personality.

Thanks for the kind comments!

Brian (Almost-Human)......I think that the white part provides a good contrast to his dark skin and the black part at the top does the same for the white hair.
Thanks for the comment....have a nice day full of bananas!

Very nice capture (as always) from you Carlos.

His skin really liks so smooth and soft! :p LOL

Looks to me as if it was taken in maybe not the most favorable time of the day/light conditions but you somehow handled it very well anyway. That said I believe that this composition is suffering a little from the bright light which can be seen on the white parts of the composition (like the shirt top and that large chunk on the lefthand side).

I see from the additional downloads that the person on the lefthand side has vanished (healed out). I think you can do an even more "cleanup" of that section if you take the time and understand me right.

Patrick!....I think this picture is actually about bright light conditions....I doubt that a softer light would reveal more......and I shouldn't say that is one my favorite images, but it really is and I am really proud of it.
I really apreciate your comment!!...but I am also entitled to express my opinion about my work.

Please feel free to chritique or comment....I learn from it!

Nice portrait, full of character. Great details as usual with your portraits. I also find the lighting harsh, and the over-exposure a bit over the top. IMHO a negative exposure bias would have helped.
Could also use more space from right.
