5. Herb Ritts. Nelson Mandela.
I've always enjoyed closeup portraits. Especially those who get in close enough to show every detail. The tones are so beautiful and I'm glad Herb showed the details of Mandela's face. It helps me to remember that wrinkles and scars don't hinder a person's beauty. Flawlessness doesn't mean beautiful. If you didn't know that this was Nelson Mandela you would still respect the man with the worn and knowledgeable face. The composition is nice, and I'm glad the hand is blurred. It puts focus on his face and makes you wonder what he's thinking.
