Love it. The way you've isolated the subject from the background is fantastic and the contrasts in the B&W are spot on. I imagine the cowboy has a few tales tot tell. With such a weathered look, how could he not?
actually he does , his kind of a homeless\shelter living guy that lives far away from center of israel and he comes every weekend on friday to check out the artist market on the main street.
You see, I knew you have right another one that would impress me again! I totally love the sharpness and the contrast. Some questions about the shot: 1.) Are you that tall? or is he kneeling? 'cause he looks up to you... 2.) How did you ask him for the shot? 3.) settings? 1/125, f/10 (WOW, how did you get this DOF???) thanks for sharing!
hehe whats DOF ? , im not that tall Im 1.76m and sometimes i dont ask people for taking pictures of them , only after i take it i let them know , since if you ask someone to picture him first you detract him from his real personality and his getin ready for you to take pictures , i rather picture him on his real actions first then ask
