I have just read your profile Willem, that's quite a tribute you got from Kees Tillema!
They say that a picture says a 1000 words, and maybe this image is one of those. Without knowing who this guy is, I bet most of us can assume something about his work, his life, his background and maybe his hobbies.. A simple portrait, but it speaks volumes. I like this one very much.

This is a very good portrait. Love the relaxed expression and demeanor of this gentleman. The tones and lighting are excellent. Perfect background, as well. Great work.

I really like how you do the portraits in B&W. I've noticed that you tend do square portraits. As I said in your earlier post, I tend to prefer rectangular. That being said, the square is less obvious in this one there is ample background on either side. As for the subject, I think you've captured something great here. The guy seems so natural and image doesn't seem contrived at all. I do like it a good deal.

ik denk dat je in de 'mood' van de geportretteerde ook de 'mens' in de fotograaf ziet. zoals hij daar staat met z'n goedmoedige 'Toots Tielemans' lach moet hij wel door een rustige vriendelijke man benaderd zijn. ik vind deze prachtig Willem. de ontspannen warme menselijkheid tegenover de neutrale bepleisterde achtergrond... dat heb je weer goed gezien.

Broekje mooi in de plooi - hemdsmouwen nonchalant, maar toch zorgvuldig opgerold en een schroom, maar toch bewustzijn van de camera... erg naturel
