Soy Cuba

Soy Cuba by løfquist.
Havana, Cuba. A retired boxer takes in the sun and water on small strip of cement and rocks on the Malecon - this is the "beach" for the many who can't afford the bus trip to the real beaches outside Havana.

This is astounding. That dude in the background looks like he's begging to be included in the pic. And gets his head chopped off. Great detail on the main dude's face. Awesome.

The one thing I would do with this pic is crop off a strip to the left. Midway between the shoulder and neck. That would strengthen the composition.

Excellent portrait, and what it makes it better is that you actually tell a little bit of his life. That makes it amazing. :)
