Exactly what - among others - photography is for! To fix a moment, which in the next second is gone. To get a thin timeslice.
I love this photo! So how it is!
Of course, to please the technic-freaks on TE you could make this or that - I like that you don't do that.
I'd like to give 10 smileys for it...

I agree with joso. The moment has been captured perfectly. The old man is a genuine Cretan and you have done a wonderful portrait !!!

There is only ONE comment i want to make.
Iraklion and Lassithi are two close but different prefectures of Crete. So the photo had to be taken in one of them.... ;-)

Wow, what a shot here Jeppe, really well seen here and taken in the nick of time, very very nice shot here and good focussing, when I first saw this I thought he was missing a nose, come to think of it, his face is strange with the glasses above his eyes.

Well done
