Monochrome Portrait: Man on a Rock in Nature

Black and white portrait of a man sitting outdoors on a weathered rock in a tranquil natural setting. The man is middle-aged with short dark hair and a light stubble, wearing a simple shirt and rugged trousers. He sits sideways on the rock with one knee raised, hands resting on his knee, gazing softly toward the distance. Behind him a blurred natural backdrop of trees, a calm lake or stream, and distant hills or mountains. Light is soft and diffused, creating a range of gray tones with high contrast on the cheekbone and jawline. Film-grain texture and shallow depth of field give a classic vintage portrait feel. Shot in a 3/4 view, off-center composition, evocative, timeless mood.
