Welcome to TrekEarth Walter.
This is a nice portrait. Maybe a little too "posed" for my liking. Also, it would have been better to use a wider aperture (if your camera has the capability) to lessen the depth or field, throwing the background out of focus. There are no major distractions in the background though, so this is not a big problem.
Did you get any other shots of this man at work, baking his bread? That would have made a nice environmental portrait.
In any case, a very well spotted subject, captured crisply in good light.
Well done.
