    A world is etched on his face merging with the landscape in the background – wonderful.

    Wonderful portrait – he looks as if the landscape has become a part of him.

      Thank you very much.
      I took the place at the foot of a holy mountain. So I’m sure the man had a special relationship with it.

    A very good portret of a man living outside in the mountains.

    The position is perfect, the way his shoulders are inclined slightly and he is angled ever so slightly from the camera. It seems like he just paused and turned for a moment, and you caught it. And it is the fact that he had the time to pause and turn, the freedom to offer us that moment, that gives me the sense of how “at home” he is in this setting… He seems as relaxed and matter-of-fact as the land itself.

    Agree with others — the wrinkles on his face talk about all his experiences, both good and bad. A very nice portrait, Rabirius. 🙂
