Hi!
I fully appreciate your approach to this subject. Cutting off the top of the head helps to concentrate on his beard and his hand - so worn, so human... The lack of colours lets us pay more attention to the textures. I think I can call this photo a portrait, even if it doesn't show the whole face - because it tells us much about the person.
Regards
Joanna

Hello Huseyin
This has greater impact than your previous 'Smoke' shot, mainly because of the cropping. The B&W adds a lot too - it is strange how I can imagine the glow of the cigarette even better in B&W!
Great detail and variation in tones.
Best wishes Maggie
