Here's another portrait from my trip to the Muttrah Souq in Muscat (Oman) last November (the first four are here, here, here, and here). It's not my favourite of the set, but I was pleased with how it turned out.
If you're interested, I've also used this image as our latest Mini-PSD: our first for this year, but the 51st to be added to the collection. If you already have a subscription to our tutorials you can download it from this page. If not, then we're still running our 25% discount offer so now is a great time to sign up. Further info here:

Great Portrait. When you are traveling around and you take portraits of strangers do you have them sign a release form? I will soon being going to Venice and I have a gallery where I might want to sell some interesting shots as you do?

Thanks Cindy. As for model releases: no, for this sort of shot I wouldn't ask for one. As you note, that means that I can't sell the shot (either as a licensed image or a print), but I can reproduce it on my website.
