The exuberance of the patterns contrasted with his neutral facial expression is what makes this image. Congratulations on the blue!

Did you REALLY say that?! :-D ... like this was some random person and you got them to stop and pose? If so, that's WAY cool!


The shot was definitely unplanned but the person is a family member.

Edit to add... and yes, I really said that.

The term positive space in photography is only ever used to refer to the positive/negative space relationship and with that in mind this is genius. You have managed to use a colorful busy background to add interest to the subject. Everything about the subject is amazing. The pose, the facial expression and the wonderful shirt that ties the whole thing together. Brilliant in so many ways. Easy 10.

Team Spleen would like to award you with our highest award, The Spleen Queen.
