Mary K. Robison March 25, 2015

How did I miss this marvelous portrait till now?
First of all, Frank, all the "technical" stuff - lighting, composition, clarity, etc. - is superb.
And then there's the proof that you have a way of reaching rapport with your subjects immediately: as you said, he stayed in character as you shot this. And his expression is open to interpretation, which makes it - and him - fascinating. Outstanding capture, Frank. And a very belated Congratulations on your well earned Finalist! #11271737
