Beautiful image with excellent detail! There seems to be dust/specks or something like that on the right of frame. Would be better without it.

Again and again this burning sun!White 'tagelmoust" and very black skin...hard task (impossible ?). It would have been better for you to meet this man in the evening.Here is a good exemple of the real proudness of the touaregs; well seen. For me however, I should have prefer the background on the left.

You have done a good job in the harsh light, would have been better for you to have met him later in the day.

brak odrobiny ¶wiat³a na polowie twarzy powoduje wy³aniajace sie z ciemnosci oko doddaj±ce grozy calej postaci, ciekawe foto

Hi, Krystof, your note is perfectly conveyed in the portrait of this man. What a difficult, hard light and elements to deal with. You managed very well.

note: Again, a perfect shot, i have no doubt, loses definition transferred over the net, and it's always the under-eye skin parts or cheeks that suffer the most, for some reason.

This is fantastic, he has such an amazing face.And good composition as well.
This one would certainly benefir from some photoshop stuff - a little lightening around his eyes and a little darkening of his headscarf to bring out a little more detail. This is not the fault of the exposure which is spot on, but the joys of photoshop can make it even better. I may try a ws later if I have time.
A few bits of dust on the scan as well. Still a beautiful image.
cheers David

so I have tried a ws, it could be better than this with more time. what do you think?

You have a good compo here . Really a good color contrast which I think will even look better in BW. Great picture you have.

although you were put on to comments Krzysztof, don't know why, I am kind of keen on this portrait of this proud Tuareg, sharp on his dark face as he is dark of skin and a explicit DOF to spot him out from the background.
Very well portrait that I like very much.
Warm greetings
Henk

Krzysztof,
very hard light conditions but result is pretty;well DOF here and color heat is nice.so sharp,we can get many details of his face;and read his proud from his eyes.
