Description
A portrait I took of an amazing and unusual man in the Valley of the Queens, Egypt. Not only was he well spoken and polite which are unusual in Egyptian tourist areas, but he was also immaculately clean. He was the one person in my 2 weeks in Egypt that impressed me and had my instant respect.

A stunning portrait, almost. It is such a shame the most powerful sunlight hits the top right of his turban and is so bright and burned out it is a distraction from a face with real character.
From the background to his characterful features are very well captured into a very good composition. You made excellent use of the lighting as well.
Wonderful portrait!!!
A splendid work, love it ;O)
Oh Martin - this is a stunning portrait! I love the side light and the 'personality' which you have captured is amazing. Well done!!
