Description
This was an interesting old man sitting in the sun outside his home in the town of Zhong San. He didn’t even move a millimeter as I took a few shots of him. A man wearing this kind of hat, which is kind of like a turban, is of a particular Chinese faith which’s name I cant remember. The main focus seems to be a wheel with several combinations of broken and unbroken lines. Anyone who can remember what its call can fill in the blank for me.Frankly, I put this image together, and then it sat here on my computer for a day and I couldn’t think of what to call it, and I still don’t know what I really should call it, but this seemed to do.
Taken with a Sony digital camera, model f717.

Youw work has a natural feeling to it, which I enjoy very much. I'm envious of your ability to capture portraits as it's probably the most difficult field for myself..

I like the choice of adding the touch of color. Simple compositionally, but the textures really make this piece - I may even call it "weathered".

Nice shot. This will definitely more than do. Your photos give a good sense of the culture that surrounds you. I love it. If every line on this man's face could reveal a story from his life I'm sure it would be fascinating.
I know what religion/faith you're talking about. I can't remember it either right now though.

Amazing picture. His expression is great, as is the texture of the image itself. The writing in the background is interesting, too. All in all, this photo blows me away... I wish I could say something more constructive, but--wow!

This is a great photo. The color tone really drew my attention to it. You should name it "Faith" or something.
