Happy

Please have a look and leave me something.

Nice shot... but probably I would have preferred colors in this case.

Marco, thanks for commenting. I toyed with the idea of color, but it was all so bright and bold, and I felt like color would detract from his wonderful expression. Thanks for stopping by.

Magnifico retrato.Estupendo encuadre con una sensacional expresion captada y excelente b&w.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Very good b&w. Very optimistic work.

 

Warm regards:)

What A wonderful shot! It's so happy. I would have said the same thing about this being better in colour. now I about it I agree that colour would have detracted from the expression. Either way, it would be a wonderful shot. Well done. J

Joy!!

No need colour. The expression is all. Be happy.

Great in b&w. A very fine image. Regards...

what a beautiful expression. great take. if an a color version i would name the picture "paradise bird". regards.

What a character, and great tonal range & light, Liz! Best regards

Only shifting leftwards would have done better! Maybe!

You are right again! I will rework it and see what I can do. Thanks for the tip.

Another great one, Liz!

 

You absolutely must start telling us the story behind each of these photos, including the "Dover Hall" photo.

Thank you Lannie and Pnina for your comments. This image was one of my earlier attempts, and I can see how I could improve it. But this fellow was so interesting, I just clicked quickly.

Very emotional portrait!
