A black and white expression Photo

Photographer’s Note

How often do you see a balck and white expression on a dark background...not many times yet so often. I spotted this in the rubble we call daily life in a lone corner of Rawalpindi amongst many people...in a satirical setting.

Assalamalaikum Kamran, this is intense, buring and piercing and even better composed! I love the human element and like the portrait supremely

Hello Kamran,

This is a very sharp shot, in every imaginable meaning of the word. Great bl/w treatment and framing. Excellent work.

Hi Kamran,
Expression of the man is well capture with that piercing stare of his eyes, every wrinkles and hairs are sharply recorded. I just wonder though if a flash light will help to reveal more details of his beard and clothes below his chin.

Nice portrait.

Cheers
Alfred

Hi Kamran,

A very strong portrait from this strong posing man. Maybe a bit too dark around his beard (we lose some detail there) but his facial expression and the shrpness in his face is superb. That chair in the background is a little bit disturbing.

Regards,

Henk

Hi Kamran
from the UK at the moment!
Great, intense portrait that has a good close crop and excellent contrast. Superb presentation of this man's eyes and the wrinkles of life. Very sharp.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Kamran, In this intense portrait I can not make the same comments about seeing his face as I did in your last shot. Pin sharp, full of detail with his piercing look & expressive face well captured. Close crop & BW a good choice.
Regards
