Thank you all for taking the time to look at my image and for your comments. I am so happy you liked the picture.

I have already gone to view your portfolios as well and was impressed with all of your photos. What a great community there is here on PN.

Thanks again

Outstanding balance and use of lighting. - Roy

Very nice concept. Backlighting is often so tough because it tends to put the subject in shadow and create that silhouette feel. Here, you've captured the face and eye beautifully because of the way the light is working. The delicacy of the light on his hood and jacket is very nicely done and his ponderous expression is enhanced by the mood of the cave. It's interesting, the top left segment of the photo is playing an optical illusion on me. Sometimes I see it as the overhang of the cave and other times it's as if you cut a jagged edge along the photo and the photo simply ends right there. You've established a great sense of depth here from foreground to background, something I really love experiencing in a photo. Great model!

Thanks Fred, Yes he is a great model when he agrees to have his picture taken. But he is always a good son (even when he is not)! I see what you mean about the rock in the foreground. Maybe lightening it a bit would show that it is in fact a rock.

On our last conversation about connecting with the people you photograph, I think the mood or vibe that is going on has an impact as well. This was just a fun family day at the beach and we found this cave at low tide. A little fun and adventure and Whoalla - a nice picture.

Well Done Douglas

Excellent work with very good light

I join those who applaud this composition. The light, details and perspective are wonderful.

Probably my favorite among your b&w portraits. Great light and place ! Perhaps just a bit too posy, but it's ok. Regards.

Parham, Hamed and Adan Thank you all for your kind words.

Marc. Thanks. I like this portrait a lot too. It's my son and he punishes his Dad by not wanting to have his picture taken, so I take what I can get.

All the best to you all!
