Il y a quelque chose de "séduisant" dans ce portrait pour ne pas dire séducteur...
Et le N/B lui va bien!

Oh Paco, I remember you told me a while ago you were not so good in taking portraits, and now i simply do not believe you ( sorry:) ) . This portrait is more than AMAZING . Man's facial expression, and probably his working room are just perfectly captured . Atmosphere is super with addition of these selected tones . Bravo ! [ wish to see more and more of portraits on your blog ...]

Pardon me Senor Paco if my eyes spotted The Playboy Marylin cover first and then this empty glass sitting next to that Aged Cognac(!??)to finally look at the Man's portrait you've done. Well, what can I say? The beginning of a smile, shy all tucked in a cool pause. A lot of interesting contradictions here. how was the Torres?

le regard et le chapeau dressent le portrait du personnage, riche d'expressions, tendre et malicieux peut être, superbe image avec ce B&W si profond et qui met tout en relief.. excellent.. Belle soirée Paco.

I'm crazy about dark velvety images like this. One day I will learn how to achieve that.
Wonderful portrait of Smiley, great beard textures.

He needs a little more brandy. :-) This is a wonderful portrait. I love those rich B&W tones.

Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States

This portrait is a very similar composition to the "about" portrait of you. Is this a portrait of you? Whoever it is it's surely provocative and a very awesome shot!

@Lambspun: Thanks for your comment. He is a friend photographer. He took my photo in the about :)

manel from Girona, Spain
