Those are amazing captures. I didn't realize they were so free with photography in Cuba. You should enter these in National Geographics "Your Best Shot" site.

That is an excellent capture of a very expressive face

If that is Santiago, I'll bet he has a good fish story

As others mentionned, this is definetly "National Geographic" quality material!

Techiechick ... I don't want to start any forms of political debates, but there is a LOT the average American doesn't know about todays Cuba. For having traveled there and walked around completely freely and safely in the city streets, I can tell it's nothing like your politicians say it is.

That cigar has the same amount of wrinkles as the man has

Great detail in your portrait

cheers

Great shot! Perfect in every respect. Hope that cigar tastes better than it looks. He's probably in his twenties and has been smoking those things since puberty.
