Worker, Sichuan Provence, Tibetan foothillls.

Sometimes one sees a person with such character that it is necessary

to drop the fear of asking them to pose so you can 'capture them'. Do

many of you think it's easy to ask a stranger to pose? I have done it

hundreds of times over the decades, and still it feels strange to do

it. Very seldom do folks refuse, but some are quite adamant NOT to

have their photo taken. In Japan, the tables turned and I was the one

asked to do the posing, especially many guys would want me to pose

with their girlfriends. It also happened here in China too.

I feel this is a great shot Michael, we don't see that many pics of this part of the world. A picture can tell a thousand words. His life seems to be etched into his face...a wonderful travel shot I'm glad you asked him for his photo.

Excellent. bravo!

Thanks folks. I think the 'bonus info' is the matching greens and blues throughout the image. It's the little things that make some more special over others.

THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH!

Michael,

 

Great portrait. He looks like a nice guy.

I especially like the background!

You should have some good ones from here too. Didn't you get one of this guy too? You back in China? If not, I'll buzz you up in Seattle later.

Gorgeous. Love that his head has the black behind it.

Excellent, Michael. Excellent for the worker in the foreground; a face like an enigmatic book to be read; excellent in composition.

Some nice travel pictures in that folder!
