I sure agree with Emile! Marvin looks like a "can do" kind of person who isn't happy resting on his laurels but pitches in and works for the sheer joy of keeping busy and loving his work. You've captured the very essence of the man in this wonderful portrait of him. I remember Mr. Wong from previous photos of yours - I never forgot that wonderful expressive face of his! Excellent work, Rony! #10318254
