This is Wade again. the same image as before with a little more time behind it. I pulled out the contrast in his face within the lines of it and such. I like this image much more.

This is an excellent photo, the closeness of it reveals the details in his skin and the wrinkles of his face. his eyes reveal a journey of a person, which kind of coincides with the stories you say he told. the lighting and exposure are perfect. And the depth of field works great with the shot.

This photograph is really great. The closeness to the face of the man and the depth of his wrinkles really shows that he has lived a long life, and has a story to tell. Also, the expression on his face really displays a lot of emotion. I believe that this photograph is much better close up and in black and white.
I agree with the previous commenters, and I also loved this image. Looking into Wade's face, its like you can see much more there than if you were just taking a simple snapshot of a friend. Bringing out the lines in his face really makes for an interesting texture, and adds to the mood of the image; nostalgic, maybe a bit mysterious. Compared to the color/zoomed out version of this image, I definitely prefer this one because it has such a stronger emotional feel. I wonder if you’ve seen that famous 1930s photo of a woman and her kids from during the Great Depression? Seeing your photo of Wade somehow reminded me of that photo of the woman and her two children, probably because of how expressive both images are and how much they make you think/wonder about the individual who is the focus of the photograph.
