Speechless!!! One of the most powerful portraits I have seen on TE or elsewhere in a long long time.

I can almost hear him say in a haunting voice.. "Chobi pathabi to".

Excellent post pro work on this!

This is very strong. I like how you boosted contrast to its limits. It really gave a deep character to the man's expression. Nothing much to say Sabyasachi... you keep on leaving me speechless with your portraits.

Breathtaking... maybe a little dark but that's probably my monitor. His eyes look a little dead... I am really struggling to critique this photo because it is so very very good. Thank you.

Wow from me too!
Extermely strong portrait, with a face where the shady sides of life are chiselled...
Post processing to enhance is spot on, very well done indeed!

Impressive picture.....VERY impressive..!!!
His face, man o man, that is really something. This man has sufferd, probably all his life.
It's not to dark here, for my opnion you should also make the right side black so we have all the focus on the man, now that red part is a little bit disturbing.
But nevertheless, this portrait is high class.
Excellent work...extremely good taken..!!!

That face.......I can recognise. u took the ruin by keeping the person in foreground. Its really a face with exceptional appeal. But U must have a good eye to visualise that it will deliver an outstanding shot.
I appreciate your post processing, the selection of sepia tone.
One of the best faces ever seen.
I am lucky to click as my favourites.

Excellent portrait, Sabyasachi. The sepia tone helps to bring out the worn, weatherbeaten features here. What a tired expression in his eyes. A sad and touching image, but also a sympathetic shot, very well captured. Regards,

A stunning high-quality portrait, one full of emotion.

I hesitate to criticise, but can't help but disagree with everyone else - the sepia is a little too dark for my taste, and the dark area on the left doesn't really add anything for me.
But this is just my taste - this is one of the best shots I've seen, I can easily understand how he's still with you.
(Hope you did send him the pictures!)
Cheers

A wonderful portrait - so much character in it. It's hard to find the right words to describe it, I'll leave that to others, but I will say how much I like the sepia toning you've used here, very effective in bringing out the character in the image.

WOW what a portrait shot Sabyasachi. The sepia tone works really well and the detail is first class.

When you thing of portrait shots it is usual to thing in portrait format but the dark area on the right is an integral part of this image, well done.

Hello Master!!
I am sure you have something in your hand and in your eyes! This is awsome! Almost looks like a sculpture of a renowned artist. I remember this face from your earlier post and it is so haunting! Choosing the sepia tone works well and the background effect fading on his face is wonderful!

This is an incredibly good portrait. On the technical side there's an astounding level of detail (if a little over-sharpened) and texture.
Its the kind of image that will produce an emotional response in whoever sees it; what more can I say, its wonderful.

Hi Sabya,
THIS IS THE PORTRAIT OF THE YEAR ON TE FOR THE MOMENT !!! Of course this is only my little opinion but what a FABULOUS PORTRAIT of this old gandalf ;))
I had already commented the picture where we see it in a larger view but this one is AMAZING !!!!!!
I have no words to say except that you were true to visit this man again and to put this picture in sepia.
A professionnal picture, really !
All my congratulations

Well... I have to join here for the concert of voices who praise your photo, and your work on it. This is a very touching photo. How to be insensible in front of such a gaze? We can almost read in his eyes the long river of his life, with all the stories that he lived... But not quite. Because each man and woman are just a mystery on their own...
Thank you Sabyasachi for this.
Thank you to this man for being.

Hello Sabyasachi,

There are some pictures which keep haunting you, and as a photographer I understand what you feel. But certain pictures like this one for instance may also haunt the viewer, and stay forever in their mind. I appreciate the way you gave us the sepia version also the way you went close enough to show all these details thay may reveal a hard life.

amazing face! i really like the dark sepia, it brings out the details of the face well. plus, i find sepia often adds better to the mood than b&w. b&w would have given this a "cold" feel. i like that this face is more inviting and curious. it's a face you'd see in a movie or a dream.

Hi Sabyasachi

Surely a very impressive portrait - an amazing character you captured as well - I wonder if its the sun that worn him this way.

I like the idea that he wants the photo as well - thanks for sharing.

I don't know what to write, Sabyasachi...

I wrote you, that the only word I can use to describe this photo is: powerful. For sure it's one of the best photos I've ever seen and you've made my day with it - I keep walking around my flat and thinking about this photo - this old man, his face, his eyes and story encarved on his skin.

This is one of those photos that would stay in my memory and give me really strong incent to keep taking photos. One of those photos I want to learn from.

Thank you for sharing and for the lesson you gave me.

Best regards

Pawel

I had goose bumps on my neck while reading your note. A most professional and, indeed, haunting photo. The sepia has worked fine to increase the drama. Perfect model and very dramatic expression. I think there is a bigger impact here than the photo in color, old man amidst the ruins. An excellent job. Cheers,
Alp

Hi
This is probably the strongest portrait I have ever seen. Every crease in his craggy face tells a lot about his hard life. Showing it with such colours doubles the shocking effect.
This picture is not only the effect of great photographic skills but also tells about the strong PS abilities.
Take care
Henryk
