this capture is magnificent, the way the lighting that collects across the body heading to the face then being shadowed in from the hat tipping down making a running focus.
outstanding capture

Thanks Liz. This is one of many shots I took that night. I was totally wrapped by the way this one worked in B&W. With all the positive comments here maybe I should work this theme a bit more. Cheers and thanks everyone.

Great lighting!
Arletta
Good gracious, you do that well! I mean, both standing there and looking that way and doing your own self portraits. Talent and beauty! What a combination!
And no, in case you were wondering, I am not hitting on you. I just talk that way.
Robert Knapman replied
Cheers Arletta. It was definitely one of those unrepeatable moments. When I saw the shot I was also amazed. The lighting was just perfect. An extraordinary moment of synchronicity .) x
Arletta
Congratulations, but early! lol In Hombres Fatal, yours is the only entry in the challenge, which means you are the only person who can vote. So, unless you abstain from voting altogether, you won, I’m thinking.
PIty there wasn’t more of a challenge for you. It’s a lovely photo and it should have won against some competition.
Mark Richards
very cool, nice b&w.
Laurie Search
Just beautiful!
Garth Horsfield
Fantastic composition and lighting.
