I had missed the first posting of this Raj. I am quite impressed with the detail.
B/W suits it well.

Referring to the narrative of the original version, it's nice to see that this 'old friend' from you and mine has let made a B&W portrait. With respect to any resemblance from my side, I must say that I'm two years older now while this captain seems - despite his one leg and eye - to have an eternal youth, lol.

Good entry for the challenge Raj.

The B/W treatment works well, Raj. The light on his shoulder and the lower left corner seem to add to the balance.

I missed the original post, but I actually like this better in B&W. I love how the parrot looks like he is leaning in to give the captain some advice! lol

The detail is amazing: the lines on his face, the way his beard is tied, the pattern on the "wooden" leg, the wrinkles on his coat...

Lighting is great!

Amazing artwork and wonderful capture. I really like this!!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Amazing what an artist can do with sand and water - this is a beautiful sculpture Raj. Why did they call these guys "Old Sea Dogs?"
