very nice. Tells a story. Nice contrast and I love the jumble of flowers/brush in the background.
03/17/2009 06:30:42 PM
There's some great attitude being worked in this shot, I like it in black and white.
03/17/2009 03:42:53 PM
Great slice-of-candid here, makes me want to know the backstory. 7.
03/17/2009 02:25:10 PM
I think the contrast is too harsh... but what an amusing and character-filled capture!
03/17/2009 02:10:02 PM
Um.... did you get him to sign a model release?!?!? :P

Cool shot, and great expression.
03/17/2009 11:54:00 AM
Interesting portrait. Pity you chopped the top of the guys head off.
03/16/2009 09:47:56 PM
Very out of the ordinary to see an older person do this.
03/16/2009 08:30:32 PM
priceless. bet he'd really be thrilled to know that his image is now being viewed by millions.
03/16/2009 07:00:09 PM
Lol. Funny. And he seems so serious about it. Nice Black and White. Congrats.
03/16/2009 02:16:38 PM
How many times do people do that when they don't want their photo taken...I love that you took the photo anyhow and made it interesting and whimsical. Very nice photo!
03/16/2009 03:02:09 AM
Well captured and presented. Goofy title which the photo overcomes!
03/16/2009 12:36:42 AM
Good take.
03/15/2009 10:24:55 PM
Typical politician I have no comment :D
03/15/2009 07:11:58 PM
Great contrast. Nice detail also.
03/15/2009 07:06:38 PM
I really don't like the way the hand is over his face as his face seems to be very interesting
03/15/2009 05:56:34 PM
How many times a photographer gets that! Very well done, nice post processing.
03/15/2009 03:47:01 PM
The color treatment makes this image rather busy.
03/15/2009 12:05:08 PM
Looks like a good candid, very clear.
03/15/2009 11:47:52 AM
different pose for a portait, nice conversion to black and white
03/15/2009 11:38:41 AM
love the tones in this image. 7
03/15/2009 09:46:50 AM

Oh, doesn't he look like the friendly guy. Great textures, tie, etc.
03/14/2009 02:40:21 PM
Great content, but too contrasty
03/14/2009 11:27:54 AM
"Cause the face don't care". Good editing.
03/14/2009 10:34:06 AM
If this was an unstaged moment, it's a gem. If it was staged, it's still excellent. I suspect the former. good luck!
03/14/2009 09:53:48 AM
Funny. I like the look in his eye
03/14/2009 09:37:43 AM
What a fun choice for this challenge.
03/14/2009 08:54:01 AM
I have no idea why I like this one, but I really do like it!
03/14/2009 08:48:07 AM
He doesn't seems too happy with this photo, but it's a nice portrait with string contrasts.
03/14/2009 06:52:44 AM
Fabulous composition and wonderful tones; my only nit-pick is that I think it is slightly over -sharpened and noise-reduced; I'd like to have seen a 'grittier' version of this shot.
03/14/2009 02:22:14 AM
I like this a lot. Would that your title was as good as your photograph, but I guess you can't have everything. Anyway, I ignore your title and enjoy his tie instead. 8.
03/13/2009 05:07:45 PM
awesome expression 10
03/13/2009 02:52:52 PM
Interesting capture! 7
03/13/2009 02:00:45 PM
this is so funny.. love the wrinkles and textures 8
03/13/2009 01:45:33 PM
the toning really adds to this image
03/13/2009 08:32:09 AM
Nice tones. Love the black and white. Good editing and nice story.
03/12/2009 09:07:36 PM
Nice shot. Great subject, lighting, & exposure.
03/12/2009 07:43:19 PM
Love that look in his eye and the processing looks great, nice and sharp too.
03/12/2009 03:53:15 PM
excellent B&W might have taken the contrast just a touch to far...lost detail in his jacket...but a great shot
03/12/2009 11:19:24 AM
Great human interest shot, like the balance of the flowers in the background.
03/12/2009 10:15:05 AM
lol
03/12/2009 08:45:54 AM
Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!
03/12/2009 05:18:27 AM
good shot. can imagine a very close crop between his shoulders for even more impact.
03/11/2009 07:53:29 PM
Now don't be taking my picture! Great shot!
03/11/2009 07:18:26 PM
Wow great depth to this shot. I love the details.
03/11/2009 12:11:18 PM
nice portrait
03/11/2009 10:56:25 AM
very nice
03/11/2009 09:26:17 AM
looks more like a no comment type of a picture.
It's not just kids that don't like having their picture taken
03/11/2009 08:29:54 AM
