He looks very pleased and proud to be photographed, i wonder if he put the cigarette in his mouth just for the photo as i dont think it is lit. Good perspective Caleb.

Hi Caleb!

I like the composition, with the man at a corner and the melons at the other. As I do not like so much his expression, I realise that I prefer your pictures with women. I wonder if it is because you have more easily a better contact with them and that this complicity sweats in the shots, or if it is simply my imagination? Anyway, well done!
Regards

Hi Caleb.
Haven't seen your gallery for a while. This one reminds me of its quality. Great colours and a very well balanced composition. Good timing, too, catching this smiling fellow rolling his rolly (It looks like a roll-your-own to me) around his lips. A very pleasing daily life picture.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Caleb,

Great ciggie shot, maybe a (small) pity his eyes are (almost) closed? Your trademark quality is here: interesting and meaningful background, great colours and composition and amazing sharpness. It seems you have a limitless supply of these shots. It's always a real pleasure to see them.

It's good to reveive new mails notifying that you post pics again! It brought me back to this site.
The expression in his face is very funny, he was obviously posing for you! The pic has your signature in it: simple composition with a character with many elements of his daily life in the background (or foreground). the focus is always perfecly placed on the face of the character and the light and color balance is always perfect!
This sounds like a big bucket of praises, but I think it is well deserved.

Hi Caleb,
He looks like he could be a character from a Tin-Tin story, cool expression with his smoke dangling from his mouth. Love the scale and the chair with the frilly covering, and the truck filled with melons just completes everything in the composition.
