It was the last day on my trip, and as I was heading for my train heading back north to Denmark, I walked past two men standing next to one of the entrances to the trainstation. They were looking pretty scruffy and cold, so I decided to go back and give them two sandwiches I had originally bought for the trip - figured they needed them more than I did.

They looked pretty surprised when a young backpacker was suddenly standing there with free sandwiches for them, but decided to just accept the facts and start munching.

I asked them if it would be okay for me to do portraits of them, because I thought they had very unique faces, and rather quickly - probably because of my sandwich-bribe, they told me to go ahead.

These were the last portraits I did on my trip, and I hadn't really thought much about them, because on the camerascreen, they both looked blurry (however this one turned out to be the sharpest of all the european portraits), and I didn't really find any of the two that interesting - but after deciding to give this one a go, I quickly realized, that it would be a personal favourite of mine.

So many unexpected details appeared as I was editing this portrait - but which ones, I will leave for you to find.

He has... very weird face. And a scar. And a weird face.

I like how only part of his moustache is dark, as if he had blood or some weird fluid coming out of his nose... Was that one of your favourite details too? :D

I wasn't exactly thinking blood or weird fluid coming out of his nose, but... =P His mustache was definitely part of it, yeah :nod: Along with his scars :)

His eyes are very far apart, I think that's what's caught your attention :)
