Great portrait as he smokes his cheroot so fiercely! Wonderful title for this portrait, and the background adds a new dimension compared with yesterday's - lovely contrast and use of the environment. I'm enjoying these!!

This fellow and the one from yesterday exude personality !
For the life of me I've never pictured a monk smoking a cigar .

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

My first thought was - cataracts. A smoker who has managed to reach a great age, with a few "drawbacks" (pun intended). Such a frank full frontal shot - you must have a trustful presence.
