Wonderful portrait, Dana. What is he holding? #58908

Dana D. Wiggins Thompson September 13, 2003

Thanks Kathleen! He is holding a Khunjar...A curved dagger that is very popular with the Gulf Arabs in the old days. The men wore them around their waist on a belt and the handles were made of silver, gold, bone, stones etc...depending upon the financial status! #198175

Colette M. Metcalf September 13, 2003

Lovely shot here, Dana!! #198197

Leanne M.E. Boyd September 13, 2003

Excellent shot, Dana!!! I like the fact that the gent is in full colour, and the background is desaturated. #198273

Lori Ditlefsen September 13, 2003

Ditto everyone else. This is a very nice shot and well executed. #198380

Dana D. Wiggins Thompson September 13, 2003

Thanks all... I thought since he looked like he stepped out of history that the background should look a little older than he does...
Thanks again for all the compliments! #198594
