OH YES YES YES YES. Love this shot. What a beautiful expression on his face. Such age, and I am sure he has so many stories to tell. You texture is spot on, and I love the contrast - I am big on contrast but it's not to everyones liking. Really excellent shot and I woul love to see more of these.

Love the BW portrait, the looks of the man, the mood.
However i'm a bit disturbed with the contrast and overall density, maybe also that I set my monitor on max contrast.

I would have posted a WS image if you had enabled the workshop option in order to let you see how I would have brought some additional light on Pak Rokok face...

L'effet noir et blanc donne une profondeur , particulier.

Wonderful shot, Aabi.
Waht an nteresting face. What a chrachter!

You got a very good capture with good contrast, showing perfectly every detail in his face.

Very well done
