This is really a great Portrait ! Nice framing with a great light. Congratulation for the Photo of the Day !
Great portrait! Especially the light in the eyes and vacant stare you captured. Losing a bit of detail in the highlights of the beard, but this lightness gives the photo good range of value and i kind of like it.
Very well deserved Photo of the Day.
