That is great!
I like his 'cigar thing' - its huge :)
Nice portrait!

Hoi Bert,
Amazing portrait of an interesting character in a timeless quality.I guess colors and contrasts are pure lab-work and not pp-work?
Great stuff.

Human face is always interesting. As everybody has a story, every part, every inch of his/her face expresses the story.

Seeing this portrait, I wonder what kind of story he has, what have been seen by his eyes, what have been heard by his ears --and how many cigarettes his mouth has taken.

The portrait is well-composed, can't be better than this.

Looking forward to have more from you.

oooo a well composed and vibrant portrait, too often missed on trekearth. This blows away my stereotype of what I perceive as an "old Chinese man."

The colours are gorgeous, the contrast is perfect as is the crop, i love his expression, but what really does it for me is the loooooooong cigarette holder. Sweet!

great portrait, excellent quality

Hi Bert,

Very singular portrait, and very nice also. Colours and sharpness are amazing. I love the expression on the face of that man.
Well done!
Quentin.

Great, so great portrait of a very styled character! Really amazing colours, definition, and details. I love the 4 different shirt collars, the cigar of course, and the silver teeth, and the fabulous glasses ! --amz

Fascinating portrait, Bert. Eccentric, unique, but also captured with great skill and control. the colors, sharpness and detail are all first class.
great stuff!

A beautiful, very striking portrait. He looks like quite a character, with the cigarette holder and his natty clothes.

He enjoys himself, I think he should with this huge thing in his mouth. Cool.

A great, great shot here! My goodness...one of the best portrait shots I've seen here on TE...and they're have been quite a few, too! You've got him in a wonderful pose, with great clothes, glasses...and of course...that amazing smoke he has. Very, very well done!

Hi Bert

Superb portrait, the framing and sharpness are superb
well done

Fantastic portrait, Bert, superb moment, incredible character and formidable execution.
sasa

wonderful and cool portrait. Superb defintion and what a willing model too!

Thats great! The definition of a dandy - three shirts and a jacket. To top it off he has one fine-a** gilded grill and a long smoke holder. Very clear and well lit.
