The more I study this photograph the more I feel this dapper young man is giving me just the slightest look of assent.

Photographed '...from my usual seat...' at the Crèma Espresso Bar in the mid-north coast town of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

Canon EOS 40D with Canon 100-300mm USM lens: RAW, f/5.6 @ 1/100sec, 230mm, ISO 100.
Lightroom3 & Photoshop CS5.

  Jolly good Jeff!

So good of you to drop by the Crèma to watch the passing parade of humanity and to leave such an encouraging wrap.

I used a touch of Split Toning in Lightroom3.

  I just love your candid portraits! I love to shoot them too, but I am not as brave about shooting strangers. Did he say anything to you after?
