The location was a tiny village in South India, which is world famous for its stone sculptures. Not having regognition and help from Government and other organizarions, the village suffers to sustain its beautiful culture.

The subject here is a vetran sculptor, who has been on the beaten path of life...now on the relaxed eve of his journey on this cruel planet.

great shot. i would suggest cropping in tighter on the man. in this case, i don't feel the surrounding environment adds to the shot. the focus should be on him and his expression.

This image just calls for comment. But I'm not sure what to say. Photographically, I have nothing to object to. Perhaps a closer crop or fill the frame with just his face. Don't change on my account. 9

Great shot. If he had been looking at the camera the shot would have lost all its magic.!!

This guy's not saying a word, strangely I think that the beard framing his mouth makes this picture - great.

This is a beautiful portrait and an excellent choice for this challenge. My only suggestion would be that it might better suit a portrait orientation. I find that the two empty areas to the sides of him don't really strengthen composition.

Almost a great picture, if you could have only gotten closer to the subjects face.

Powerful... nice capture, lighting is great. Captures the silence of the moment well

On of my favorites. I like the expression on the subject, the way the white clothes stand out against the background and they way they contrast with all the sharp stone. I'd suggest cropping either right or left to move the subject out of center of the frame.

I like this shot and find him interesting to look at. I think a tighter crop would of served this shot well. Good luck.
