Pete the Elder

I was pleasantly surprised by the result. I thought that the lighting was bad as it was mostly flourescent predominantly coming from the top but I think the warm backligting helped. The classic Nikor 50mm from my wife's Nikon FE may have contributed to the wow factor. Despite using a crappy 8 mp Canon Rebel XT, the combination of the lens and the camera and providence all contributed to this shot.

Comment by Trish O' Donnell on February 26, 2013 at 5:49am: Love the detail. Great shot, congrats.

Comment by rob castro on February 25, 2013 at 7:58pm: cheers Claude B ... thanks for noticing and kind response. I think he may have seen me but didn't really care. The photo was cropped because I wanted to get rid of the two people he was talking to - the back of their heads didn't look photogenic (LOL). Maybe he thought I was shooting someone or something else.

Comment by Claude B. on February 25, 2013 at 7:44pm: I like it "extremly" much.

Did he posed for you or you surprized him?

Comment by Reg Warboys on February 15, 2013 at 3:29am: Cracking sharp image, good lighting, he looks a strange colour, like he works in a chocolate factory.

Try croping the left side to make it a portrait mode, remove some of the distracting b/g + high lights behind his head then you would have a WOW image
