What a crazy shot! I thought it was staged at first, but then it has so many authentic elements... Love his pose & most of your post technique - really hot whites are a tad distracting but not terribly so. << 8 >>

Oh at last - I was beginning to think I'd been condemned to look at a ceaseless round of bland landscapes, blooms and other people's children being cute for all eternity. All of a sudden I find myself capable of facial reaction again. Despite a suspicion of over-processing - his cloak looks impossibly smooth, really, this has charm, elegance and just a touch of subversion in the bicycle wheel.

Mummified in time. It's like looking into the past, past the mouth of the tomb. An odd sort of sensation really. Quite an excellent character to photograph. 8.

Nice shot. This type of photo doesn't really appeal to me (dark, high contrast) but I can appreciate the effort 8 for me.
