This screamed emotion to me during the challenge. I'm glad it was in the top 10%. It deserved it.

This was one of my 10s. Truly a fine, fine portrait - his character shines through, and that has a lot to do with how you saw him, not just how the camera saw him.

Back for comment and bump. Great job on the lighting to bring out the features on his face; he looks like quite the character. I like the crop and how it complements his narrow face.

Great portrait of a beautiful young man!!
Post actions
Very good detail in his face, could use just a tad more DOF so his nose is in focus too.
Post actions
Beautiful portrait. Looks so much younger than 99. Did you know you're nr.1 on Google with this title?

I love this picture , great shot 9
Post actions
Very nice portrait, focus and DOF, blurred in the right places, he looks like hes in good shape.
Post actions
This is a lovely portrait in every way that matters. I am particularly taken by the excellent use of DOF to bring the face up from the neck, the clothes, and even the ears. There's a sense of abstracting or isolating the face/expression as if he is in the process of working free of his body and becoming wholly spirit at the end. Well done :-)
Post actions
Warren looks great for 99, nice lighting and catch lights
Post actions
This is a great character portrait. I really love images like this one and I shoot a lot of them myself. The image tells me things about your subject and also makes me want to know more. This type of work is so much more powerful than a typical studio portrait... nice job :)
Post actions
Sweet expression and nice tones. God bless him!
Post actions
Shoot, narrowly missed the 100 yr old category! Great shot!
Post actions
What a great twinkle in his eye - well captured :)
Post actions
Bless his heart. I love his long face and big glasses. :~)

is this the station master? he looks familiar..99 and still going it seems, there is a bit of "imp" in those eyes :) portrait well done
Post actions
A sprightly looking 99 at that! Nice detail and lighting.
Post actions
Tell Warren I said hi. He's great looking dude.
Post actions
By far, the best portrait I've seen in a long time. I especially like the lighting and choice of lens to catch an intimate view of Warren and a glimpse of his personality. I will be disappointed if this doesn't ribbon.
Post actions
Congrats to Warren for making it all the way to 99 years of age. He's sure seen some changes over the years. Nice portrait.
Post actions
Well done. I could go on and on, grats on a fantastic shot. Love this. 10
