Description
A local in the Centre of Bogota, Colombia. The was walking by me and we started talking about a building across the road that was under construction. I asked him for a portrait and he graciously gave me a couple. One of the most characteristic faces I have ever seen.Camera: Nikon D90 & Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8

Gr8 composition and very characteristic look from your model.
I would also try it in HDR to strengthen the look which is already impressive.
thanks for sharing,
Hakan

Hello. Thanks. It has been processed in HDR software. Then processed again to remove some of the unnecessary definition of the face. Only unhappy with the highlights in the hair, they are a bit blown out. Maybe upload an update soon. Thanks.

very impressive indeed, I have to agree with you as well it is one of the most characteristic faces I have ever seen as well.

Thanks.
The I was almost speechless when I saw the man. Then I approached him and we started talking about some buildings that were under reconstruction. He liked the rough surfaces of the old fasades from the late 1800s, kept mentioning the textures. I, however, could not stop focusing on his textures. Finally I asked for a portrait, he gave me 3. Nice one.

Amazing subject and amazing photo work. The framing is great, the light and tones are beautiful and the portrait is wonderful.

Was this done with multiple images or a single raw image
π: 0 β©: 1
It was a single raw, made into 3 different exposures, then combined in HDR software. Somtimes this produces much better results than a single raw without pre-processing, but for this image I did not need it. Faces canΒ΄t, and shouldnΒ΄t really be raw processed in general. But for this one I think it worked. thanks for commenting!
