Photographer’s Note
Maybe you remember him.
I found him at the streets (Palma street, downtown Asuncion), selling his stuff.
Always kind, always with a smile and a serene expression in his face.
K.
Ps.: He is holding a bow, a typical guarani bow with ornaments.
The stuff he sells is cheap considering first world prices standards, ranging from 1 dollar to 10 dollars more or less.
I did not crop, almost no changes. I am lazy to alter my photos. Only a white frame added.

Hi Kike, yes, I remember him. A very friendly face and a nice smile. Wasn't he the one which photo you converted to sepia? (have no time to check your portfolio at the moment, got to run!)Very nice portrait, Kike. I'm a bit distracted by the very white part to the left of the photo.
I think I have a picture of his son selling things in the streets of Asuncion, the same facial expression. May I will upload that one.

Hello Cesar,
very strong portrait, colors are very strong and the sharpness is perfect. The very blur back (with the good decision of f/1.8 and 50mm) gives the photo 3D look.
Thanks for sharing,
Sarhan.

Hello Cesar,
Nice portrait. The colorful hat and the supporing head bend is looking beautiful and you did you job with good accuracy. The skin tone is looking very natural. His facial expressions are same as you explained.
Thanks for sharing.

I like the bright and warm colours on the face and of the feathers...and of course the Indian. I did not think you can meet them in the city!
