Hello Thomas,
Welcome to TE with a very nice portrait. The light is good, colours match, the background is well chosen and the man looks pleasantly relaxed.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Thomas,

That is surely a very relaxed and friendly pose this person has. I might have added some light to his face in post processing, but it is a nice shot as is.
Which camera do you use?

Greetings, Dennis

Hello Thomas,

This is an interesting portrait. Lighting is good and exposure is correct both on the face and the white garments. The expression is indeed friendly and relaxed.
Well done. Regards.

Hello Thomas, I like this portrait of the seated
man placidly in the Coffee, while one smokes a cigarette.
I hope that it should not be important for him that
it does a WS giving another point of view to the composition.

A greeting friend.

Hi Thomas,
I really like this one because of the gentle light coming from the one side and the colour tones are nice and soft too. He looks so nice and relaxed and gives you a friendly smile. I agree that the table on the right is slightly distracting, but its still nice image.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Thomas! Yes he has a friendly smile, he seems relaxed, not afraid of strangers. I mean after 500 years they must have seen some travellers here and there I suppose :))) Very nice photo, very natural, I love the earthy tones and how he leans against the wall with the cigarette in one hand. He is not in a rush. Best regards, Barbara ... flies :)))

it is a very beautiful portrait, I liked specially of this colors and soft light. The model is perfectly put and he is natural. I think it would be better showing all his feet or cutting the image around his knees. anyeway it is a beautiful work

Hi Thomas,
Very nice portrait. The gentleman shows years of life experience in his face. I did a little cropping in the workshop on this shot....see what you think.
Cheers!
