I converted a few more shots of this classic guy who was the "docent" at the maritime museum in the old fishing village of Osvor. Enjoy!

I agree with the above. B&W is the way to go with your portraits of this classic fisherman. Well done.

The Old Man and the Sea comes to mind - excellent set...

Just wonderful! The B&W treatment gives an impact color couldn't hope to do.

Thank you very much Dave. He does look a little like Hemingway.

Thank you very much for your kind compliment Sue. I find most portraits especially those of older people, work better in B&W since you can really see the contrasts in the facial lines better. The subject matter of these on a grey day also lent itself to B&W

what a wonderful face! I bet he could tell a few tales!
Thanks dancers. I was fortunate to be standing in the front row of the group he was addressing in Icelandic in his deep bass voice and used my 18-300 to get the close ups.
