A superb portrait, and sharp detail and crisp color right down to the smoke stained mustache. Very well done Nancy in my book you can't beat a candid portrait #7033529

Good Morning Nancy
What a Kind and Gentle Looking Man
You Have Captured Personality in His Eyes
Fantastic Candid Portrait #7033543

Ron,
Thank you for your kind critiquing. I appreciate the comment regarding the mustache - hadn't thought of that! Thank you. Have a great day. 8o)

Melodie,
THANK you, and good morning. Wow, I thought I lost the emotion due to the reflection on the glasses. We talked to him for some time, listening to his story of the crafts he does. I couldn't figure out how to take the reflection on the glasses away, without distroying his 'look' in his eyes...any suggestions? thanks again. 8o) #7033568

Opps, you snuck in on me while I was typing to Ron and Melodie.... THANK YOU so much for your continued kind support. I appreciate it very much. He was such a kind man and seemed a gentle man as we spoke to him. Wonderful in teaching methods especial patient type for children to listen. It was a great experience. 8o) #7033593
