I can't believe someone gave this a '3'. Granted, it's not a profound subject matter, but you've done a great job with this photo. It's exposed well, despite the bright light on his face, and the colors are vivid. Mostly though, I love the way you've captured him in this casual pose. He's obviously pleased that you would be interested in taking his picture. Very nice job on this!

Christal: Thank you so much for your gracious remarks! I, too, liked the colors in this image, and the fellow's good-natured demeanor seemed to work as well. You expressed surprise at the "3" the shot received, noting that it might be tied to the shot's casual content. I appreciate your thoughts on this issue but, truthfully, it's something I don't worry about. I'm a feature writer and photographer--I shoot to tell a story. Once in a while a "profound" image shows up; most of the time the photos do their job documenting the story I'm telling, and that's all I want them to do. If you get a chance, check out some of the my 40-year-old black&white images that some viewers seem to think rank as my "profound" work--you'll find a couple of "3s" in the ratings on most of those shots. Hey, that's the way the system works. What surprises me constantly is that people such as you take the time to view this stuff and make informed and constructive comments. Again, thank you! All the best...Bill

"Would you like fries with that?"

I like seeing shots with "ordinary" people~ especially people who are obviously happy with "life as it is served", so to speak.

And thanks for your kind words on my photo as it led me to your portfolio.

Blessings from Vancouver Island, Canada. Iren
