Very classy, Faris. the man would for sure be proud to own that portrait of him. And I also love the technical aspects as you have detached him well from a still recognizible background, and the blacks are wonderfully deep. One day I will learn how to expose and convert so well!

I have seen this superb portrait before and it still looks simply fantastic.
