 This handsome fellow came right up to me at the Aquatic Park and asked me if I wanted to take his picture. How could I refuse? He then proceeded with his walk around the park.

This guy looks like he has a lot of life and spunk in him. This makes me smile. The colors in the background are wonderful, subdued but yet noticeable.

That's so cool to have him come up to you! I bet this guy could tell some stories...

How nice to have your subjects walk up and ask to have their picture taken. Looks like he might have been a carpenter or cabinetmaker, hence the middle and ring finger on the left hand. It is great that he did walk up and get his photo taken and you were willing to take it.

Ha - that's funny. Amazing how people don't mind their photo taken for the most part. This is why I just point and shoot - nobody ever protests. lol

Love this - it's moving in some way - maybe because all his life is showing in his face and posture.

What a lovely old fella. It's not very often that strangers want their photo taken. Well taken Roger.

far out .. fancy someone actually coming up and asking you to take their photograph .. usually we have to be as sneaky as anything in public, and try not to let ppl see us taking their photographs .. you never know when someone will get all narky over it .. and then there's the legality of it all ..
so wot a breath of fresh air this guy must'v been ..
great shot .. great character .. EXCELLENT .. :)
