Wow. This is great. The tone and composition of this image are very compelling. Nice capture.

Great portrait! Love the wealth of texture in the image.

Great image! You´re very good at getting close quarters with people and shooting these wonderful environmental portraits..

Rochelle Weiss		05-Apr-2005 02:41
Definitely a vote. I love the perspective in this portrait. I also like the texture of the stone wall with the flow of the man's outfit.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 23:30
I'll echo everyone else, and leave a vote.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 22:37
You picked a very effective perspective, well done.

Great picture Antonis , I like it very much !!

Dan Chusid		04-Apr-2005 19:21
I waited for the crowd to leave so I could get a better view of this..... Yes, appealing to the eye and nicely done! OK...where do they sell the postcards? ;-)

Laryl		04-Apr-2005 18:35

Beautiful rich image.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 09:43
really like this. you've picked up all the detail so well.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 09:18
Excellent shot AGAIN!

Chris Sofopoulos		04-Apr-2005 07:48
Great image and great courage to shot people on the road. Congratulations for this b&w picture. I really admire your work.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 05:37
As all your photos, this is great and enjoyable image!!!

Guest		04-Apr-2005 05:32
This is great. It has an almost cubist feel with the hand and legs looking slightly out of proportion- which makes the shot so much more interesting to study than most portraits. I love it.

Susanne		04-Apr-2005 04:47
oh this is excellent! I love the close up on this old man. The lighter shade in the back ground works so well against his darker clothing. Vote.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 04:13
I like the wide-angle perspective, too. He looks rugged up against the cold. Your street portraits are all so intriguing -- lots and lots of stories to be told.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 03:44
One more time a picture which takes care of the character.

Yann Pindeler		04-Apr-2005 02:00
Nice mise-en-scene, but I still think that your B&W lacks of contrasts.

Elaine (etfitz)		04-Apr-2005 01:30
Excellent portrait!

Chris		04-Apr-2005 01:28
I almost thought it said 'PAD' on the wall behind this fellow :) Great shot.

Yvonne		04-Apr-2005 00:53
Wonderful portrait...he looks to me like he feels the cold.

Guest		04-Apr-2005 00:36
excellent portrait..

nomadicdragon		04-Apr-2005 00:35
wonderful shot. he looks like quite the character.

Guest		03-Apr-2005 23:31
Amazing. I love the wide angle lens used here!!

Clyne		03-Apr-2005 23:23
Another winner - you do this so well!

don nieman		03-Apr-2005 22:18
Wonderful photograph, great exposure. I learn so much from your photos.

Dawn		03-Apr-2005 22:03
Fantastic

Guest		03-Apr-2005 21:28
Great shot. I like the way it all comes together with the graffiti and the window all contributing

Guest		03-Apr-2005 21:20
your portraits are absolutely stunning... great use of your "wide" lens and excellent b&w conversion. ciao Andrea

Guest		03-Apr-2005 21:16
interesting distortion of the wide angle on this portrait. love it.

Si Kirk		03-Apr-2005 21:14
wonderful portrait.

Brian Ogilvie		03-Apr-2005 21:13
The short focal length really works in this portrait; it emphasizes the legs and hands and makes the man big in comparison with the house in the background. It's dignified without flattery.

Guest		03-Apr-2005 20:38
Great shot! Voted

Guest		03-Apr-2005 20:00
THe softness with a little noise in the background is really beautiful

Gail Davison		03-Apr-2005 19:49
Beautiful shot. I too focused on the grafitti in the background. What a world.

Antonis Sarantos		03-Apr-2005 19:45
Thank you Terry, i haven't realize the problem (maybe from the different look in internet). I think i fixed it.

Guest		03-Apr-2005 19:13
Very good portrait Antoni-voted Iannis

Coleen Perilloux Landry		03-Apr-2005 19:09
Great shot. Wonderful portrait.

Guest		03-Apr-2005 19:02
great shot - not sure whats happened with the hand in the foreground though

Guest		03-Apr-2005 18:32
Once again fantastic image!...Wise old fellow..wonder what he would make of that graffiti behind him?...sure he would put that cane to use!

Gary Winters		03-Apr-2005 18:26
Hopefully, you'll be getting a call soon from National Geographic soon. They want pictures like these!

Guest		03-Apr-2005 18:24
A beautiful portrait.

markvm		03-Apr-2005 18:24
You just keep coming up with these nice B&W street images and every single one is nice. Well done, Antonis!
