Perfecto retrato en B&W. perfecta nitidez y gamas de grises correctas. saludos Howar.

Nice, with the dark background....

Nice portrait again Howard, IMO the bg. has to be more blury. Pnina

I especially like that it's obvious that he's working with the stick (broomstick?) in his hand. Fun hair!! Ooh - and I like the flag in the background, too. :-)

A sympathetic look.Good portrait,shadow and light.

me too, I like to think of him pausing while brooming, watching sth that obviously warms his heart - nice study Howard!

You capture the most interesting faces! This is no exception. Gotta agree, the hair is great!

Howard, nice tonality control. I like the scattered light falling on him which gives a good feel of being outdoor. You're the people kind of photog! ^_^

This chap must hold the world record for smile lines around the eyes! Howard, you have an uncanny knack of choosing really interesting models. Fantastic stuff indeed!

Does it matter that this is not hugely saleable art?...art it is. Excellent portraits are a joy.

Thanks to everyone for your support.

 

Linda, I appreciate your noticing and making the connection.

"Scattered light" is a great description of the lighting here. Very nice image, Howard.

Looks happy in his work. Very well captured.
