I am impressed Kathy, that is exactly right. They also sell ice cold water and/or lemonade. I guess it will cost some $ 0.25 for a glass or so, though I am not sure.I think there is Cherry Juice - or maybe Pomegranite Juice in there. I have a photograph that I took last year of a man outside the Hagia Sofia in the same outfit and that is what they said he had. Juice!
I am trying to imaging him walking up and down the steps of an American sports stadium, hollering "Cold Drinks, get your cold drinks here"!
I am drawn to his fingers of the hand by his mouth. They look very rough as though he has worked hard for many years. Nice catch of the smoke trail from the cigarette.
What type of drink does he provide and how much does it cost, who does he sell it to???

Hi Fahim
Did you post it here? I can't see it.....I'd like to.....
Fahim,
I prefer this rendering. There is a unity. He's now one with his urn and from that position of strength, he looks out on the world where he will make a living or not.

I much prfer the black and white, and think the high contrast approach that you have taken works very well. You've done a great job of giving him bright clothes, but retaining tecture in the fabric, and the monchrome rendering gives emphasises the intensity of his expression.
