 My Father’s Day

Every child needs a hero
Someone to look up to, someone to believe
And I was blessed to have the very best
‘Cause I knew you were there for me

I wanna thank you for showing me the meaning of love
Yes, you’re one in a million, sent from above
You were always there beside me to love me and guide me
That’s why today I celebrate My Father’s Day

Every child needs a friend
Someone to hold on to whenever times get rough
You’ll always be a special part of me
‘Cause I wouldn’t be the same without your love

I wanna thank you for showing me the meaning of love
Yes, you’re one in a million, sent from above
You were always there beside me to love me and guide me
That’s why today I celebrate My Father’s Day

You picked me up when I was down
You knew just how to make me smile
I never had to face the world alone

I wanna thank you for showing me the meaning of love
Yes, you’re one in a million, sent from above
You were always there beside me to love me and guide me
That’s why today I celebrate My Father’s Day
I celebrate My Father’s Day

Nice detail and lighting of his face in general. Not sure about the halo/color effect in his eyebrows though

nice shot, and probably really captures the "essence" of the dad, but not a lot to really reach out grab me, though.

interesting processing, almost dragonized. The shadows on his neck almost look likes his head is floating.

Great shadows give a fanastic sense of depth to this photo ... almost 3D. Very good focus and dof. Really nice work.
