Wonderful portrait

Really gritty portrait with a face full of character and experience, this ticks all the boxes, really excellent work

Thank you for your wonderful comments - very encouraging.
I've been itching to photograph this man for ages. He didn't pose and I took it rather quickly!

Yeah, Sally, fantastic shot!
If you want to photograph him again, I wouldn't call him "old man."

Wow, thank you, everyone
No, Darkskies, I wouldn't dream of calling him "old man" - he's not old enough to be my father

That is simply superb Sally - one of the best portraits on the Gallery in an age! Is this taken with the 55-300mm? If so, it is a great advert for the quality of this lens as it is super-sharp and the contrast is outstanding.

Thank you Nezih and David
Yes, David, I used the 55-300 - one of those lucky moments when he was standing without a cluttered background.
