Thanks, Cindy! besides forgetting to adjust white balance, broke another rule of portraiture by not using flash. i did try using flash on a couple of pics i took of him but i just didn't care for that. maybe i just don't know how to use flash right.

you think there's enough light in his eyes? i know it's not much. i'm glad you saw SOMETHING there!!!

now i wish i had taken one with flash to compare. i'll have to remember to do that next time.

yeah...about the tobacco stain...good point!!! i don't think it's reaching! i'm thinking it might have a more yellow cast to it...like this one. this was our 2nd choice.

anyway, kemal loves the first one...says it reminds him of the movie Casablanca.

thanks again, Cindy!!! :)
