Man from Mumbai

Here's my latest portrait.  "Man from Mumbai"

The photo was taken by a missionary couple serving in India who gave permission to do a portrait of it.

It has been submitted to a competition in local gallery.  I'll know if it was accepted in a few days.

Great expression you have caught there @mstrick96, lovely colouring too.

I hope it is accepted.

Really good! Love the expression

I like the colour. And the white/grey  background sets the subject off nicely. I think the hair is great. I love the way it catches the light at upper left.  As portraiture, it has a modern feel. Good luck with the show.

Very beautiful way to show the weariness in the eyes.

Very nice portrait. I'd be surprised if it wasn't accepted.

Well, it didn't get into the exhibit.  I'm disappointed.  

I had submitted it to the Downtown Gallery in Cartersville, Georgia, which is run by the Booth Western Art Museum.  I have two landscapes in their Summer exhibit but will have nothing this Fall. 

It's hard to predict what will be accepted and what won't.
