Comment by CNovack:
Fabulous dynamic tonal range -B&W tones really showcase this cowboy. Dewy's face is illuminated wonderfully (no shadows under the brim of the hat). We see all the features and years of experience not just upon his face but in the look in his eyes. Great focus too. Main subject is showcased in sharp detail while the background is blurred. There may be some action going on in the backdrop as that we can see movement (ranch or rodeo as that I think I see a fence?) but that does not in any way distract our attention away from the main subject. Excellent capture.
