This is one of our friends who also absolutely loves taking photograph snapshots! I love taking portraits of people, but I just don’t seem to find any willing volunteers, lol?

Deborah Bowness
Fabulous portrait, perfect toning and composition.

I have trouble finding humans to experiment on too (photographically obviously) – this is great, like the shade over his eyes and the narrow DOF

Graham Jones
Well if you didn’t notice yet a lot of people love this image. Me too. The monochrome really emphasises what is a very bold portrait. The combo of character, clothing, and short DOF results in an image you just cannot walk past without giving it a good looking over. Very nice work Sylvia.
GerryMac

Mark Coward
Cracking portrait Sylvia. The b/w works a treat….. and what a smile.
SylviaHardy replied
Thank you again Mark for your lovely feedback. He certainly is very photogenic. In this case I just grabbed the shot while he was bending down and talking to us through the car window. It was very sunny and contrasty. But with a little help of HDR, well you see the result :-))
