 An old man sitting by the side of the road selling beans. He smiled a lot while we talked and after I bought some okra and beans from him allowed me to take his photo but whenever I raised the camera he put on this very serious look. Cropped, resized, levels to bring out a stronger colors, usm.

i like the fill on his face but the shadow it created, shows it to be probably more than you needed. i would have tightened that aperture if possible to help with the blown out bg. interesting subject and nice composition. pro border.

interesting face. the blown-out background hurts the picture though.

A great subject, great expression. The lighting is perfect, even the subtle kick added by the fill flash. Great Shot.

Its a shame the background is so overexposed. It's a nice portrait but I think like lighting (from your flash?) is too flat and devoids the shot of some emotion.
