Excellent portrait.. I guess there's a long and disturbing story there somewhere. (Looks like a striped silk gown to me, not a flag, CJ.)

What a strong portrait MC! Lots of character brought out by the sharpness of the image and the toning is perfect to give it a gritty look. Does he have a flag draped around him?

Strong reflection on the glasses lens somehow makes him more distant. The DOF gets him to stand out.

A great shot illustrating getting old & being not so privileged. A great image.

excellent image light character marvelous shot :-)

Wow, very interesting fellow. Nice capture. Ivan.

Great scruffy looking character MC! The details and texture came up really nice here and great light for this capture too.
