The skin and the wall have the same wonderful texture. Very well done. I have to say you have given me a great compliment. On one of my photos you said very few words and I understood. In America, it is a custom with friends to speak with few words because people with the same mind can understand the meaning. I thank you for your friendship. And yes... I do look at your photos every day... and I am ashamed to say I do not comment often enough. Now, I have used more words than a friend should need.

Congratulations, Saad. It is good to see your excellent portrait rewards by "Best in Project" and "Donor Image of the Day." Thank you, as always for your kind comments on my panoramas. Since this image asks for critiques, I'll just say I might have cropped it a little closer to the figure, maybe nearer square or even in portrait rather than landscape orientation. But it's a very fine portrait...

So many people do not accept central positioning and feel that the rule of thirds should always apply. I do not suffer with this hangup in photography. This is an excellent piece of portraiture in superb sepia tones. The expression of great thought and contemplation is captured beautifully here. The details are stunning and the textures in the stonework make a wonderful setting for this lovely study. Well done to you my dear Saad. All the best my friend.......Ray

Dear abo Saud, respected friend,
I have made comments praising each of the two saints in this shot. Including the saint making the photo and the positive comment from our respected sadeek txules. It is not up to me to make a judgement about smoking so there is no need for you to defend yourself or call smoking a bad habit.
I polite ask you to review my comment hope you will see the positive gift I have presented you.
Please accept my positive gift. InShaAllah.

Congrats Saad. Very good image. Sadeek txules has given you the crown you deserve. And I wonder if this Saint has received the cigarette from a visitor abroad, giving away his last cigarette, as Saints usually do.
Good to see you have een the treasures at Aleppo.
