WhaleShares/WhaleCoin Photography Challenge

Welcome,

To another @boyerobert Photo Challenge #1 “HEAD SHOTS”. This will be my 1st entry, to another first of it's kind. The WhaleCoin, that I do appreciate, from a great man that I meet, here on Whaleshares, sponsored by @freedomexists. Thank You...
This challenge was a real challange. I am going to say that, the photograph isn't the clearest of shots, as well, it's a little dark, this was my intention here, as dark as possible and get the whiteness to show as contrast. This photograph was done in "Portrait" and in "Colour".

EDIT

For this image I used my, again, iPhone 8 PLUS, the picture was in a "Portrait" and "Colour", I had the gentlemen looking into a mirror, while I took several photos. My intention was to try and get both sides of his profile and make them one, I didn't achieve what I wanted, So...I then edit the photo in various tones, to darken it. I then zoomed into the image, cropped it, and re toned it, if it makes sense. I then tried to join the two image and again, failed. I wasn't liking what I was getting. So, I took a step back, found the image I liked and joined the two profiles, and I seemed to get a figure in the middle of this photo, created by the hair, that I loved immediately, isn't that the photo is the best one, it isn't, it's the creation of one self looking in the mirror and becoming one, and creating something in this man "IMAGINATION" that made me love this picture. Like he's giving birth to a new life.

The Man & Imagination"

Brief description of the man, 74 year old man, started working by 4 years old, collected used bullets, to be sold back to the army to be recycled. Dug a stone, with a hammer at 7 years old for his father, to open there first Tavern in a rock...his father used to make wine. And yes he worked in the Tavern. By 17 he left his country to start a new life, until this day he is still working. Not because he has to, because he loves what he does. This man imagination doesn't stop at all, even to this day he's working on opening a new Buisness as I was taking the photo of him, goes to show you, the power of love, how far it can take you. I'll say this final thing about this man, he never gave up at anything, and he feared nothing, and on top of that, he is the most loving and giving man I know, he's always happy no matter what...never stop Imagining, it is a secret to life...

he never gave up at anything, and he feared nothing,
