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

This man lost in his thoughts, smoking a cigarette, we meet him sometimes somewhere. Here, you captured him very well.

Very classic away from the modernity of today's societies. Well done and framed once again

Jim from United States

Yes, a fine street portrait. The man looks a bit defeated. Perhaps he has been at this too long.

danthro from Suburbia, United States

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

Its like a forest of fabric. Great.

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States

he's deep in thought:
the ash on his cigarette
grows longer as he ponders
the fabric weaving
gently into time

Oswegan from Lake Oswego, United States

I am not sure I would want to buy a carpet that smells of cigarettes. Great image.

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

Interesting shot. I can't believe he's smoking so close to his merchandise. I'd probably catch it on fire:-)

sophie from Paris, France

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.
