wonderful, dynamic b&w portrait. love the tones. Excellent treatment, his dreds are sharp as nails against the dof. I like the blur of the hair on the left – adds movement, as if it needs more energy, lol – this image is bursting it’s seams… stunning black and white, great capture, such a punim.

Excellent character study… such an expressive face
