An outstanding photograph.

What a captivating shot Rowan!! From the darkest black to the brightest white...and all the shades of gray in between...this photo jumps off of the page with authority. Only a TRUE professional could create so much depth in a black&white photo and capture the passion in this man's eyes...well done!

Good eye. The powder brought out the tribal scars in a marked way. The focus of the eye, reveals the intensity and focus of the subject. Focal range and depth-of-field superb.

Congratulations! Great job done, Rowan. Keep on going. the best is yet ahead.

Amazing picture where trully the eye is the mirror of the soul. I love the rude contrast between B&W, between the skin and the dust of the powder. In my beautiful language what I know best will be: Estremecedora.. Good luck to you!
