Great capture of this sailing buddy. I prefer the top one, a tighter crop, he looks out of the framer closer. But how am I to say, it's more pleasing to the eye. Great job Emile... #4339870

Fantastic work here Emile! I prefer your second image, I like a sailor who keeps his eye on the sky! #4340229

David Phalen May 28, 2007

Excellent light color and details in both shots. I think the second one makes him look younger. :) #4340239

Could be a character straight out of Treasure Island. Wonderful presentation, Emile #4340829

Thank you for visiting and commenting. Dominick, Linda, Manuel C, Glen, Amalia, Eileen, John, David, Manuel B, Husain, Shelly, Cyn, and Joyce. I like them both for different reasons but though the perspective on the second was more unique. I also liked that in both his eyes were open. I had a tighter full frame on the top vertical and a more square presentation on the bottom for effect. Thanks again for commenting. #4343032

Hi Nancy nice to hear from you. #4346667

Pat Gamwell May 30, 2007

Both shots are fabulous, but I actually prefer the 2nd shot...it has more animation, as though he is on the ship on the high seas and sees land approaching or a large whale is jumping out of the water or giving commands to his crew! (There goes my imagination again! lol:) #4346751

We all should imagine and dream Pat. #4348108
