Val Feldman March 17, 2017

You definitely should do more portraits, Hayden. Wonderful tones with soft side lighting - yep, I'd say Gail's choice of "compelling" is the operative word - you're drawn into the moment, the pose and absorption of this fellow and his music....and hey, is that you??? #11572590

Tammy D. Ferren March 17, 2017

Awesome b&w environmental portrait! #11572637

Hayden Cannon March 17, 2017

Val - As always thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you think so, as I am just not confident. Yes not much gets past you does it Val, very perceptive. I am indeed the subject in this image listening to my music to get inspiration for the day, get psyched mix :). Mornings are hard for me now due to medical trouble plus hard times, but it'll take more than that to stop me :). Thanks again, always enjoy reading your comments :).
Tammy - Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback, I am glad you like it :) Thanks again! #11572652
