Perfect DOF! The man is perfectly in focus (according to my pixel peeping) and the background is delightfully out of focus. WELL DONE!
Tanks AvPicLady, My camera is invariably in aperture priority as control of DOF is most important to me.

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

Thank you Erich, what I particularly like about it is that he isn't looking directly into the lens which gives him a faraway look, as if he was remembering times gone by. He must have seen awful horrors fighting in that bloody war.

This is a great example of a color photo edited to warm B&W. Your whites are not blown out, midtowns and shadow are perfect and your blacks never became 100% black. Beautiful photograph worthy of National Geographic magazine.
Great example of Graham Smith's fine art photography.
It's a pleasure to view your work.😊

Excellent portrait...
Clearly, been there, done that, and quietly and justifiably well satisfied that he had!

If you see those things Dave, the photo worked.
