I guess this photo answer the question, but I think "Granma" is not the most objetive source. Nontheless I love this seller, his expresion and his cuban mood. Among your best An. Vamos bien aquí también.

A lovely portrait of this old man smoking cigars and showing us a copy of the journal he would like to sell. I like the expression on his face.
Good composition with the blurred building in the background.
Thanks for sharing.

hi an,
exceptional work - love this pose, and the man, he seems to be so confident with you, and so much engaged in the political affairs of his country,
and that cigar...
love it,
j.

Hola An:
Una foto muy buena y muy inteligente, por el mensaje y por la composición con el hombre en la parte izquierda.
Perfecta nitidez y actitud del vendedor.
Realmente una foto muy expresiva y con mucha sustancia.
Un saludo: Javi

An,
I love how he is half mugging for the camera and half still trying to get you to buy a paper. Nicelyt done here with the OOF background and subject and his newspaper in nice focus. Good to be able to read the headlines
Cheers

Nice to see you back, An, with some fresh Cuban stuff. This is so expressive, the pose of the man primarily is making for this effect, and I like all the whites here. Very good shot.

Cheers

Hello An,
This is a great shot, I like the mans gesture, the shallow DOF works really well and composition itself really good.

Hello An
Very nice expression in his face, nice inclusion of the newspaper here,
very very interesting. Specially the difference of perception, I had read that it seems he has terminal cancer.
Regards
Daniel

Hello An,
this is a great street picture,
the colors are perfect but i think that your pic would be even better and stronger in BW.
the attitude of the old man is very interessting and the composition very effective ,the DOF is also well measured.
bravo.

Hi An,
I discovered your Cuba series, and am fascinated by the color treatment in your photos, which works so well: saturated, strong color. Here you don't have much color, yet the photo is just as strong. Great DOF and nice portrait of this guy, cigar and all.
