While attending a car show Jay shows up and was talking with some of the exhibitors. Here Jay is checking out a car that caught his attention. Later I ran into him again at his car.
I know this is a gamble as a submission. But he truely is a famous independent thinker and as a result is now independently wealthy.

Well I'll say it for all the other commentors as well as myself: It IS Jay Leno, whattaya know?! I would have guessed you would have made reference to that fact in the title if he was other than a look-alike. Not that you should have... congrats on your high finish!
damn paparazo...nice candid. perhaps some unavoidable grain from enlargement? i guess his buddy wasn't that important...unfortunately his moustache got in the way.
I really like this. Is that Jay Leno? Regardless, the lighting is great, the DOF and POV excellent as is the focus. I love the crop - I think it adds to the mood of the image and works well witht he tone. 9 - good luck in the challenge!
Hmmm... that dude looks suspiciously like Jay Leno :o)
Anyway, a nice Candid shot, above average in the challenge but it´s not blowing my socks off either, needs IMHO more even lighting across the face. Gave it a 7.
Hmmmm... I like this because it really gives the viewer a glimpse into an unseen side of a person's life. We are so used to seeing the "on stage" side. Good job. I like the balance here, too.
Perfect DOF. Nice expression. Exquisite lighting. Oh how I wish that second mouth and moustache could have been magically removed. Took a while to see them, but they are kind of distracting. Still, a great effort
How'd you managed to get such a great shot of him? I can't imagine that you could get such excellent results without him actually posing for this. The detail and composition of this portrait are asolutely outstanding. Not terribly applicable to Independence, but a really great celebrity portrait. :-)
I never thought I'd see Jay Leno in a challenge shot! The light and blured background works. His face could be a tad more sharp for my taste. A good candid shot.
A celebrity shot! For the first time, I really can appreciate the mass of his chin.
Good contemplative portrait. (If this isn't really Leno, I take it all back)
A good portrait will always get a high score from me, and putting aside that the subject is a celebrity, this is a great portrait! Would like to have seen a tad more contrast - 8
