Many pics, indeed, and many good ones!
I really enjoyed the portrait selections. Some of these people are caught raw - no pretense or mannerisms. Just who they are, just the way that they are.
A very nice collection.

Patience is a virtue , the post is only up for less than 7 hours. Btw also when waiting for these 43 pictures to load. They're all pretty big and more than 2 MB and I don't know where the delay came from but it took several minutes before they were all there on my screen.

But they're very good photos (so worth the wait) and the main attraction is the connection most of these have with the viewer, very open without being artificially posed. I especially liked the ones where you framed the faces with the environment or scarfs/hats/caps. It's really hard to pick a favourite but 22 and 43 have something special for me and 14 made me laugh.

Great series - too difficult to choose favourites.

I think I recognise some from before but it was a pleasure to see these and the new ones. TFS

For me the best picture in this set is the only one we're the subject is not looking at the camera coincidentally and that's number 9. Love that you have him working in his natural environment with very dirty hands. All seems very natural and fluid. I also like that he's wearing an adidas beanie which seems a little hip for a guy his age especially in comparison to his more natural clothing for the area. I am going to comment on a few more. 13 for me should be removed from the set as their is an obvious focus miss on the subjects face. And in general I don't think 39 is a strong picture. To much going on and the subject seems lost in the environment. Do not take these as criticisms as the set is exceptionally strong and truthfully I wish they were mine as you have done a magnificent job. Tfs.

I can concur with most of the comments above (including pegelli's one about patience ). Hard to pick a favourite, but some will not make it because of some (minor) imperfections e.g. #26, where the point of view could be a bit lower and the cut off persons at the right ar a bit disturbing to me.
But this is really nit picking on a strong set overall.
