First-rate informal portrait--the download shows great character in the man’s face.

Perfect DOF! The man is perfectly in focus (according to my pixel peeping) and the background is delightfully out of focus. WELL DONE!

Nice job. Very sharp, you can count the hairs in his beard. Awesome. I like the way he is entering the frame. Nice composition.

Nice portrait! And he does look old.
Then I remember that I was in the Navy from 1970-1974. I wonder how I'd look if dressed the same way?

There is a lot of character and emotion in that image. There are stories behind those eyes.
Excellent work!

The capture of the central character is absolutely excellent but the background is a distraction. The context is not shown clearly so it could be a group of women waiting at a bus stop in Ohio for instance rather than a group in West Bengal.
