p.1 #1 · Pose for 40 cents?

I was at my usual spot at Sydney's Circular Quay and spotted an elderly gentleman of the street and he looked at my camera and said with a charming smile "Would you like to take my photo for 40 cents?" I said, No, but I would give him five bucks. And he then posed

Sheila,

That's a character! I see life in his face; his smile, his eyes, those wrinkles!

Thank you for posting this photo.

Well worth the time and effort.
Great character.
I'd try to tune this a bit more.
Not sure what I am seeing on the right with the deep vertical black line and the deep circular shadow by his left eye, under his hat. Can this be opened up, line removed?
Got some halos, esp around the edge of his hat, right side of image and some along that vertical line.

Sheila:
This is a great capture but....the black void on the left hand side of the B/W detracts from the photo. The color version shows some details that have been lost in the translation. I would attempt to bring those details back into the mix in black and white.

Like the conversion better than the color. Lotta 'life lived' in that face.

Fine work! I tend toward color, but this image looks great in B&W also.

I usually take "street people" for a nice meal and some conversation -- a lot of them have very interesting lives.

That nose looks like it's seen a few left jabs, great shot Sheila.

Excellent portrait but i am with several of the others on the very dark "void" on the RH side of his head. Wish there was a little more detail in there.
