Description
I posted this picture a very long time ago when I first joined Renderosity and was so disappointed when it hardly got any comments, as I was so pleased with it at the time. I was a "new kid on the block" then! So I thought I would post it again and see the response this time! I hope you like it as much as I do! I took it on my holiday in Havana which I absolutely loved.
Hope you all have had a good weekend and thank you all so much for all your kind comments on my last upload.

What a cool and expressive portrait. I like his outfit, the cigar and the reflections on the sunglasses. Excellent shot!!
I'm sure you'll get lots of comments on this one, its a great portrait!
Reminds me of Buena Vista Social Club :) Nice shot!
OMG..... such FANTASTIC portrait... I adore! And this cigar is genious (La Havane!) Exceptional and gorgeous portrait my friend! Have a ggd evening Eileen!
Magnificent picture. You have obtained an ideal exhibition. The detail level is perfect and the best thing, the proud gesture of the Cuban horseman. A great work.
Your portraits are always EXCELLENT Eileen ! This one is again a great capture !
brilliant.... and the cigar is wonderful
Fantastic portrait! Quite a character ;-) looks a little bit like Ray Baretto.
.:a crisp and cool shot:.
great portrait, bravo !!
Lol how cool is that wow superb capture hugs lou x
Absolutely faboulous! The ligh is perfect, very difficult with "moreno" skin... You used bounced flash?
Very excellent portrait!!
He is quite the Cuban! ;) I'm always impreased with your Photography and your exquisite Characters you capture! Bravo!
Fantastic portrait! Quite a snappy dresser. I love the hibiscus on his lapel. An interesting exercise, to repost an old image. Same photo, but you received more comments in the first 30 minutes with this one than you received in 14 months with the original post. (I looked. My little accountant brain just HAS to check these things out!)
Wonderful portrait, as yours consistently are, of the gentleman in the straw hat. It's a wonder Castro lets him dress like that. I like the reflection in the sunglasses. Is that a hibiscus in his lapel? As for your receiving comments, when I first started out in May of 2006, I had a paucity of comments in response to my postings, which I attributed then to my being new on the scene, and now, guess what, despite a continuous posting of pretty good pics, I still receive a bare minimum of comments....plenty of viewings, but hardly any comments. Maybe I'm not pretty enough. Ergo, I've been thinking of quitting and relocating to another photo website.
Great character shot Bravo very cool dude!!
I'll bet he could tell some stories...excellent work.
He looks so kewl and with an added touch of red flower. Excellent. Aloha
I remember him well as you had some other views also. irregardless of the amount of comments, it is a stunning portrait and worth a repost
Is that cigar rolled on the thighs of young ladies? Lol, love this!!! Awesome shot.
Excellent portrait!!
LOL, Eileen, I remember too my first posts, and how excited I was that someone even noticed! It takes time for people to find you, but when you have some talent, as you do, they come and they look and they leave their thoughts! I adore this photo, the gentleman dressed in his Sunday best, all ready to pose for the tourists! The background also is wonderful, adding to the interest without taking away from the portrait.
Stunning as ever...Well done!
I think I sae him in other shots. He dress super . cool shot of his face
THE portrait!
Wonderful portrait, thanks for the repost!!!!
Excellent portrait, Eileen! He is so great and funny!!! Some time ago I upload a picture for the second time by mistake! It was so funny to see how the same people changed their point of view! But, after that, it was so hard to decide which one to delete! :)
Spectacular photo
I will add my two cents, as it's a nice shot.
