Old Kenyan Man
I took this image with a 70- 300 manual focus lens that i does not auto focus well with my Canon 20D so when i do get a nice image like this its rather rewarding..
I like the soft depth of field and the contrast that i have boosted it too… The mans face has so much detail and the way he is posed just shows wiseness…
The fact that his eyes were closed also was interesting and went well with the old feeling.. not that all old people sleep just though it was nice…

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!

Well done with than manual focus lens! I even more like the espression on the other face next to your subject. Kinda funny ;)

I guess perception of other people would vary from person to person. You see wisdom I see contempt. Great character capture in any terms.
