What an incredible face and what a great capture, Nezih. He looks very relaxed.
That isn't a rosary in his left hand is it ??

Nice character. Wise use of BW. Nice figure inside his environment

Fabulous portrait, Nezih, just check out those teeth! I like the way you include the backgroud to give him some context.
Best wishes,

Andrew

superb compo and mood capture, Nezih, .. maybe a bit too generously exposed, .. still correctable I think
