Hi Nana,
Quite a cool potrait with a fashionable hat , I love the way his hat is tilted and it shades his eyes, but nice that we can slightly see the glint of one eye. Nice tight crop.
Regards
Wanda

Superb portrait Nana, quite a character under that tilted hat, love the way he fills the frame, and that gorgeous light, the eyes shining through the dark and the textures. Very beautiful.

Warm regards
Michèle

This is great Nana - normally I'd advise using fill-flash in these situations so as to reveal the eyes, but here the shadows work well, giving us a strong impression of the hard African sunlight.
Perhaps a looser framing to avoid cropping the hat would have worked well.
Anyway, good shot.

Cheers,
Ben
