The Pilgrim looks as if he plays with you the most odd and funny face twists.. though the most eye-capturing is the composition which combines unusual construction of high hat with similar, vertical shapes of roofs in the background..
Wonder how the pic would perform in B&W only.. it might be interesting as well!

Hello Ryno,
A fine portrait of a remarkable person featuring some very interesting details. The blurred background indicates the splendour of this place. Considering that the light is ususally quite harsh on this huge plattform you have done very well with the exposure.
Kind regards,
Gert
