The shadow on his eyes & the dark glasses seem to be symbolic of approaching eternal darkness for him.
Placing him against the shadow was a good move.

Ian.

A fine portrait, Nezih. Almost certainly better in monochrome.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Excellent - it would be interesting to see it in mono.

Lovely portrait, great shot. Maybe Andrew's right and it looked better in B/W.

Thank you Shaun, John, and Gábor! I've already uploaded the mono. However, I think the lamé hat is better observed in colour. link

I know, Gábor. I should have done the opposite, upload the mono here, and the colour there.
