This is the first of my remaining two portraits from my trip to Dubai, and while I definitely prefer the one I'm going to put up tomorrow, I really like this one too.

Great portrait. Really like the expression and depth of field in this one.

Think some of the exif data may not have populated correctly.

Well this is excellent David... I love the way his head gear dissolves away to nothing . Amazing gaze in his eyes . richard

What a great face and great tones. Nice, clean whites without any blowout. Beautiful portrait.

Great shot. I'd love to see the original on this one...beautiful contrast in the face

As mentioned above: great portrait! Perfect choice of focal lenght to give the extra depth to the face.

Great! Did you just ask these people if you can take a picture or did you know (or pay?) them somehow?

comment by Max at 06:26 PM (GMT) on 13 May, 2008

This is fantastic. Great shot!

Thanks all.

Tino: I just asked if it would be ok.
