  Very well done Irene. You seem to have captured his aura in addition to his manly profile. Bet he is thinking about dinner. I know I am.

  I really like this character study, Irene--the light, the position of the hand, the closed eyes, the feeling of a real place, person, and time.

  Thank you to everyone for your kind comments.
This is a very candid photo of my brother-in-law.
He was sitting in the doorway of a dark building looking out into the sunshine.
He was busy watching the activity there and did not realize I took a picture.
I edited the background in front of him, but the background behind is natural.
