  Frank, you make it look so easy to do. Love the b&w rendition on this fellow with the tone treatment to make him look like an early settler. Great model with the beard, extra special portrait!

  I love his face, the way you caught all that character and the way you brought it out in this black and white. Very nicely done.

  It's a favourite for me too, Frank! What an AWESOME portrait! The clarity and detail are amazing! ... right down to the fine lines around his eyes and the coarse texture of his beard! Looks very authentic ... not like a picture you just took in this day and age! Fabulous work, my friend! :)
