Post your best portraits(street, studio, candid etc...).

Almaty Kazakhstan, girl sitting on a bench in front of the "metal cube" mall downtown. Candid street photo. In Asia I often find that if you show people a photo of themselves they are more than happy to let you take more! Generally I found the people there very welcoming, even if the local architecture was indistinguishable (mostly) from anywhere in the far flung provinces of the former Soviet Union.

Again in Alamty:

Interesting old gentleman, very nicely dressed in a combination of traditional and western style. Had a brief conversation with him in my primitive Russian. A real crossroads of culture, a meeting of East and West.

Sharja, UAE:

The harbor here as well as in Dubai has many small wooden Dhow's with eclectic crews from all over Asia and Africa. The boats trade along the Arabian Gulf and down the east Coast of Africa.

These guys were sitting on the quay with a couch they probably carry aboard, having a break. The only English speaker was the gentleman on the far left.

It's hard for me to choose since I shoot about 65,000 portraits a year. (Yes that much) But the current one that people really like is this one.

As always, feedback is welcomed, as I am trying to become a better photographer.

Camera used: Canon 60d
Lens used: 50mm 1.8 (This lens is surprisingly incredibly sharp!)
I like this image, but (since you asked for feed-back) I would have liked to see a bit more detail in the shadow area of the face, especially to see the eye.
