The Storyteller

"Off in a distance
Down a long winding road
An image mysterious seen making the climb
Footwalk to village hidden to most
Yet the storyteller found it, yes scaring most

Few guests ever found the village so veiled
Yet none ever entered like the story teller in swirl
He appeared in a eye blink, attired in strange garb
Full linen robe, made of simple and plain
Both fire and twinkle, had he stored in his eyes

He seemed to be from an age yes of old
Where myths and fables, were shared by the old
Crowd gathered quickly as he strolled though the town
No man dared address him, yet the lasses drew nigh
'Twas the twinkle, just barely alive in his eye"

...

HI RAJ,

Beautiful shot and lovely tone to show his Age and intensity. Intersting composition and light. well done mt friend.

Very nice capture of this old man and the expression in his face. The sepia really does it! Nicely composed, but I noticed that have cropped a little of his foot (which may be a tiny bit annoying).

Thank you for sharing this photo!

The exagerated contrast and texture along with the sepia tone work well here. A gritty portrait but not depressing.

Hi Raj
This photo caught my attention at once, striking among many colourful thumbnails in TE gallery. I like this PP, it suits good to this sublect - worn man has more impact now.
I like this composition, too - closed and clear. The only thing I don't like is cut toe ;-)
Best regards
Joanna

Ciao Raj,

I like this POV with sephia tones
this portrait is rich in details and expression...maybe a closer view would have emphasized these details!

ciao
