Though mass produced Chinese kitchenware floods the markets, even in old Kashgar, many traditional craftsmen in the old Uighur quarter still torch their teapots by hand...

Has all the elements of a good portrait.
I like his relaxed pose and the friendly look on his face. Great beard !
The teapots add to the overall message / story as well.
Happy New Year.

Hello Caleb,
You created an outstanding portrait of this interesting looking gentleman. I like his relaxed pose and his natural, somewhat inquisitive expression. He obviously felt very relaxed having his portrait taken. As usual you include important daily artifacts like the copperware which enhances and add a cultural context to your image. The sharpness of the photo and the light management of his white shirt is fabulous. This is one of your best photographs in my opinion. Outstanding!
Stan

Love the Uighurs ! Miss them a lot...
Great pose in the frame and great face - all details are interesting, the pots, the rich materials on which he is leaning - plus the white shirt is so beautiful ! (light and texture)...
When I see this, I realise how much more I need to learn !
TFS,
Cath.
