bold

Louis...Chief Dumisani Zulu's whimsical smile--perfectly illuminates the darker edge of this image--the profile portrait speaks volumes to me. This image is exceptionally pleasing to my eye.

Excellent portrait and very interesting subject. Nice use of B&W.

Thanx

Thank you for the very nice comments, next print I'll try to dodge a bit around the eyes and try to burn in on the collar, but it looks a bit flat there. Thanx again Louis

It seems to me that this is a perfect portrait for a postage stamp :-)

Backlight!

(Okay, this photo has been around here for a while now, BUT...)

Like Jerome I too was struck by the Chief's profile -- a savvy use of backlight (back to him, side to you) to ENHANCE his features -- pretty cool.

This was cropped-in a fair bit, no?
