This is a dweller from the western desert Oasis town of Bahariya.

Bahariya is the most visited of the western Oasis towns, simply because it is the which is closest to Cairo (about 5 hours drive).

Daniel: another atmospheric portrait from Egypt: a couple of them today. Fine work, perhaps a little too close... regards, c

Very nice portrait, Daniel! I like the semi covered facial expression, the eyes that tell so much about the man's mind and at the same time, tells nothing of the mystery of his thoughts...The color of the Kafiya is an eye catcher and frames the man against the bright BG.
TFS!

Another fantastic shot from Egypt. The colours are vivid and the face expressive.

Hello, Daniel--
Nice work here, the exposure was great, saturating the colors well. You caught him in a very dynamic position, leaning to the right of the frame but looking back to the left of the frame, giving his expression a very thoughtful feeling.
Thanks!

Hola Daniel.

Un retrato, desde luego, brutal. Los colores y la expresión del hombre están muy bien captados.

Un saludo, Oscar

Bonsoir daniel

A superb portrait of the Egyptian desert dweller with marvellous colour & sharpness. Good to catch him looking sideways & not at the camera. Merci!

great position and result!
ciao!

Salut Daniel,
Superb portrait !
First, your POV, the little tilt and the DOF are just perfect.
I regret the red towel over his mouth, but his look is so intense.
Very nice,
JB.

Hello Daniel
A close intense portrait, with the distant but intense look on his eyes. Excellent framing with the tilt of his head to the right as he gazes in the opposite direction
With Regards

Amitiés. Grazyna.

A fine portrait Daniel, and well framed/
