Mr. A.L. J. Powers

This is from a series last year, all done on 8x10, of people and places in

Alabama.

Isn't ironic that while the picture was taken with an 8x10 you chose to post this thumbnail size file? On my 19" monitor the image is 2.5 x 1.5".

Wonderful photo. A great face, nicely captured.

Ditto Dans' comment. Kind of reminds one of "Lonesome Dove" don't you think. It's on the same high level as the rest of your work. Congrats. LM

Truely stunning portraits. Just wish the images were larger to get a nicer view of them. I too have a 19" screen, the photos are tiny.

If this is portrait to favor the person or for sale, then you did a fair job. Too short a focal length lens has increased the nose substantially. Other than that, I like the image as it has impact. What else is necessary in a photograph than impact

Character written all over his face. Your eye for the interesting is your greatest tool.
