My Friend Piers...Not as Scary as he looks !

Another attempt at people. This is a friend of mine with a very

expressive face. In all the years I have known him I think this is

one of the only times he hasn't been smiling (and this was not for

real)

 

Anyway, comments, criticisms and general observations very welcome

 

thanks

Well executed portrait and original pose

 

Mark, you've captured quite a character here - very good portrait - menacing eyes - hope you didn't upset him ;-)

This is a very very good picture, not only is the camera angle perfect, it was also well chosen as it helps bring out his sinister look (to me atleast), even the hand rolled cigerette adds a touch to this picture, great job.. im taking notes!!!! =)

Great Shot! Your friend should audition to be the new Freddy Kruger. He is very scary (in this photo), indeed.

I am glad that i am not going to bed for several hours, yet.

Thanks.

Earl.

I am going to have to stand up and protect his character. You could not hope to meet a nicer guy !. This was a moment of madness that I happened to capture...there are more to follow of other friends so beware !.

 

thanks for the great comments

Mark, this portrait is very well done...my eye is drawn to his. I love the way the left side of his face fades into the black background.

Very good expression, makes me think of big charisma.

I would be curious to learn more about this person...He looks like an obsessed artist..like Van Gogh...or like mad Piero.. :) How far (or maybe close ?) is it from the truth?

I have to say neither. But an expression can hide a persons real self.

his eyes...

perfectly framed. it completely avoids the hammy nature of most ecclectic portraits...i believe the wide eyed look in this case...nice.

Excellent balance of contrast, with the eye perfectly fixed, close to the character shown. Very well done :-)

The eye, the cigarette, and the hat! Yes!

Delicious!

One of the best character shots I've seen lately. Very well done.

Thanks Jim !
