Portrait of Fisherman taken on west coast of South Africa.

Natural light, 100mm handheld on EOS 5D.

Love the tones, those eyes, the beard .... character !!!
Maybe, just maybe a bit too tight !? Altough ...

Thanks

That's a great face full of history. Feels a bit oversharpened to me.
Thanks,

Too tight and appears to be way oversharpened. Love the character, though!

Thanks for the input so far. I agree on the sharpening - here is a 100% unsharpened version - it still looks sharpened, but it was taken on a macro lens so it's very sharp.

The crop : it's the look I went for - I personally feel cropped in it's so much stronger.

Unsharpened version :

Now that's a face full of character. For me the tight crop and heavy sharpening help draw you in. I think it works really well.

My kind of face. Love it!
