Excellent portrait - the wonderful patterns surrounding him provide a good background and also give him a context, an identity.

A fine candid shot! It has your overall look and feel.
22 May 2008 2:27am

Exceptional...you must have been blessed with a sense of perception, I'm totally awed

nice street cadid here; excellent composition~

This man lost in his thoughts, smoking a cigarette, we meet him sometimes somewhere. Here, you captured him very well.
22 May 2008 6:59am
Just so well framed...
22 May 2008 7:06am
Great composition - I like how he appears to be partially cloaked by the rugs
22 May 2008 8:00am
Great candid image

Very classic away from the modernity of today's societies. Well done and framed once again
22 May 2008 10:27am
Yes, a fine street portrait. The man looks a bit defeated. Perhaps he has been at this too long.
22 May 2008 10:56am
Beautiful composition, ευχαριστούμε!!!
22 May 2008 11:05am
nice work! great composition, especially like the lines from the hanging carpets, the lines from the stairs, and how the man is sort of hidden behind the carpets
22 May 2008 11:13am
beautifully draped.
22 May 2008 11:42am
Well composed and perfect b&w processing ...

Great mono image of a daily scene, I really like your work.
22 May 2008 1:50pm
A wonderful shot, you've caught a great moment.
22 May 2008 2:19pm
an instant picture of reflection and all day life.
22 May 2008 2:28pm
Its like a forest of fabric. Great.
22 May 2008 2:47pm
he's deep in thought: the ash on his cigarette grows longer as he ponders the fabric weaving gently into time
22 May 2008 2:52pm
I am not sure I would want to buy a carpet that smells of cigarettes. Great image.
22 May 2008 3:18pm
Nice candid shot. I like how he's partially obscured by the carpets.
22 May 2008 4:05pm
Excellent picture. I like it.
22 May 2008 6:07pm
Fantastic portrait! I like the patterns in the carpets. Love it!
22 May 2008 7:02pm
Absolutely evocative. Brilliant, yiannis!
22 May 2008 7:37pm
Great candid shot.. I love how you captured that moment like an invisible photographer ;)
22 May 2008 9:15pm
Interesting shot. I can't believe he's smoking so close to his merchandise. I'd probably catch it on fire:-)
22 May 2008 11:09pm
A well done classic image. The contrasts are nicely managed here. We are left wondering what this man is thinking and what other treasures are hidden behind the rugs.
23 May 2008 7:23am
This is an excellent capture! I bet it would be nice in color too...
23 May 2008 8:39pm
Nice image! I am visiting Istanbul next Summer and really looking forward to it, thanks for the inspiring pictures.
