A nicely focussed, nicely lit and very expressive shot. Very good DOF, too. I kind of wish that the crop wasn't quite so tight on the right. It would be nice to be able to see all of his cap. But that's just nit picking. This is a very fine shot. #5412

like this picture. I can see from your dad's face that he's had a hard life. #7742

I don't know where Nyoman is coming from. Your father doesn't look like he has has had a rough life. *NOT* in this picture. Nice work Ray #7746

Hi guys.
Thanks for the comments.
As for you Nyoman. You was close, but, no cigar.LOL My father, just went through aload of belongings, He's retired from work now.So he's packing all his goods to ship down to Antigua. That's why he looks drained. #7750

Hey Ray,
You've been able to do with a portrait what I can't yet. Capture life.
How far away were the documents. He looks like me when I don't have my reading glasses.
The photo is great but I agree with Gerda, wish the whole hat had been in the picture.
