The Cookers Bass

Excellent!

wonderful portrait!

Nice job of using light sparingly to highlight the subject and remove all distractions

Outstanding image, you really caught the moment.

Kind of OT, but I love how jazz bass players kind of stroke the strings with the side of their right (lower) hand. It's so affectionate and tender. I've spent an enjoyable half hour checking Roy Decarava's and Van Elskin's pictures, and, yes, it looks like that's how bass players do it.

Extraordinaerio ¡¡¡¡

Truly masterful. In the good tradition of old-school photography. Quiet, sensible, profound, touching, telling a story. Very powerful and superb treatment of technical details in this magnificent BW Photograph (note capital P). Hat's off. DG
