The background was excellent, and I thought the natural sunlight on the hat did wonders for this image. The thoughtful expression tells me you knew just when to click. Shocked to see this so far away from the top 10.
Oh Brian, this is an incredible color portrait. I'm amazed that this isn't in the top 10 or 20!!!! I've been out of the loop since I've been on vacation, but I wish I could have voted this one the 10 it deserves!!!
Absolutely beautiful work with light here. Stands out in its unpretentiousness. A remarkable sense of the man comes through for a shot with dark glasses :-)
great dof...pushing the bacground to a complete blur...however....i feel that the subject could have done with slightly better lighting on his face to show up the detail of age and provide better impact to your shot...nonetheless..great job
wonderful - love the background too - full sun and still no shadows on the face - clever use of the hat. the loghting is just great. so is his expression - notice how a face can say soo much without the eyes. usually we focus on the eyes but you have forced us to focus on the rest of the face and the body stance.
