 Stu. The head cowboy at the Moraine Park Livery. RMNP. Estes Park, CO. The young cowboys prefer chewing tobacco, I hear. This veteran still smokes. Hasn't killed him, yet. The skin cancer inducing UV radiation from Colorado's 330 days of sunshine per year will probably get him first. (Not so funny, but it's where we live.)

Crips focus and great color. Looks almost lije you caught him in the middle of a story. A seven for you.

Very genuine looking. Good soft light overall. Even the smoke looks great. This would have been a great 'Senior Marlboro Man' poster...:-)

Excellent shot. Good DOF, focus and pose. I'm not a fan of cigarette shots, but it works well here with the cowboy. 9

Some may have been tempted to go black and white however I like this as it is. Great capture showing nice emotion in the model. The fact that he is smoking adds just a bit of extra interest to the shot.

Really nice touch with the smoke. Not sure why it doesn't grab me, even though I like the subject's face.

Nice portrait, great model, I would have clipped more on levels to darken up the blacks a bit.

Nikon? I don't know why, but some photos just jump out and say Nikon to me. :) A great character you have captured here.
