Your work is impeccable Mike. I like the way you darkened and desaturated the background. Wonderful image. I am usually drawn to textured images, but I recognise your work straight away. BRAVO my friend.

Thanks mate. This was actually taken late at night, but yes, I did work on the background. Glad you like it, and thanks for always making the time to visit and comment.

You do have a style and a signature to your art that set you apart and recognized immediately. This is no exception. Wonderful capture with intensity, interest and story. The light and shadows adds drama and interest. The expression on the client face draws the viewer for a closer look and search fo meaning. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

Excellent image Mark, this guy looks as if he is holding his breath and saying a prayer to Saint Whoever is responsible to protect him from the blade, and Hep B , or even Aids. I am a hairdresser, and I often wonder how many infections are transferred by hairdressers especially in 3rd world countries where hygiene is not a priority or affordable.
