The Red Suit

Description

Submitted for the PG 101 RED theme.
I spotted this handsomely dressed gentleman coming out of a shop in our Old Market area and couldn't resist asking him whether I could take his photograph. As you can see, he obliged. Such a very nice person! And yes, even his shoes were red :)

I love this guy and your capture, Nikki. It's a most formal pose, as befits his spiffy suit, but at the same time, there's such a great connection between him and us as viewers. And I know that's because you're so good at connecting with your subjects. #10976342
