i'm one of the people who really don't like the concept of black peter / zwarte piet. but that says nothing about your picture :-)

The tones are very dynamic and the exposure is spot on.very good work on such a contrasty portrait .v.

Black Peter is just great! His blue eyes are wonderful and are deeply look at something real interesting. Like this one a lot, Voted.

Nice shots here, although many will undoubtedly be offended at the ''black face''. I think you captured this well!
To answer Monica Memoli's comment on whether or not black skin matches blue eyes, the answer is yes, as I've photographed such a ''match'' numerous times. Black skinned people only having brown eyes is an outdated stereotype ((chuckle)) Example of black with blue eyes:

Hehehe, Black Peter does not have the same sound as 'zwarte piet'. Strange, how Santa has its elves and the Saint has his helpers... how politically incorrect this is in todays day and age... Amazing how Santa derrives from a holy figure with Moore slaves at his side. Funnily enough the saint and his helpers are still revered, though the slaves are feared by many kids who have not behaved as they should have... For me this brings pepernoten and presents, a time of joy. Well shot!
