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 #7033529MELODIE C. ROBERTS January 15, 2009
Good Morning NancyTammy M. Anderson January 15, 2009
Love this, Nancy. Perfect portrait capture of this gentleman. #7033556Nancyj E. Hovey January 15, 2009
Ron,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

Gorgeous portrait! You have captured the glasses and the eyes superbly! This is not easy! Because of my particular age, I wouldn't call him old because he looks so much younger than me. ha ha ha! #7036581Jorge Nascimento January 15, 2009
