This is outstanding photography. At first, I thought it was one of your drawings/paintings as you draw this well also. Congratulations on your winning the Portrait Photo Contest.

What a great portrait! Love the beads, paint under his eye and whatever he is holding. I think you nailed the lighting! Love the way the light plays on the skin. No question that you have wonderful clarity. Very nice! Wish I had six stars for you! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi
