Excellent portrait - the wonderful patterns surrounding him provide a good background and also give him a context, an identity.

Jonas from Vitória, Brazil
This man lost in his thoughts, smoking a cigarette, we meet him sometimes somewhere. Here, you captured him very well.

Jeff T from Milwaukee, United States
Great composition - I like how he appears to be partially cloaked by the rugs

Persian King from Tehran, Iran
Very classic away from the modernity of today's societies. Well done and framed once again

Jim from United States
Yes, a fine street portrait. The man looks a bit defeated. Perhaps he has been at this too long.

danthro from Suburbia, United States
nice work! great composition, especially like the lines from the hanging carpets, the lines from the stairs, and how the man is sort of hidden behind the carpets

Its like a forest of fabric. Great.

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States
he's deep in thought:
the ash on his cigarette
grows longer as he ponders
the fabric weaving
gently into time

Oswegan from Lake Oswego, United States
I am not sure I would want to buy a carpet that smells of cigarettes. Great image.

Nice candid shot. I like how he's partially obscured by the carpets.

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States
Interesting shot. I can't believe he's smoking so close to his merchandise. I'd probably catch it on fire:-)

A well done classic image. The contrasts are nicely managed here. We are left wondering what this man is thinking and what other treasures are hidden behind the rugs.

This is an excellent capture! I bet it would be nice in color too...
