This was another capture of my friend Miles and I really did not know which I liked the best. First looking down and this looking up both taken from below to utilize the natural gray sky as a compilmentry BG. Let me know which you prefer and why?

Wonderful portrait Emile!,eileen bedford May 28, 2007
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... #4339870John Connolly May 28, 2007
Fantastic work here Emile! I prefer your second image, I like a sailor who keeps his eye on the sky! #4340229David Phalen May 28, 2007
Excellent light color and details in both shots. I think the second one makes him look younger. :) #4340239Manuel Barrera May 28, 2007
Could be a character straight out of Treasure Island. Wonderful presentation, Emile #4340829Husain Akhtar May 29, 2007

WOnderful portrait Emile!!! #4342611Emile Abbott May 29, 2007
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. #4343032Nancy L. Green May 29, 2007

Hi Nancy nice to hear from you. #4346667Pat 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:) #4346751Emile Abbott May 30, 2007
We all should imagine and dream Pat. #4348108Rakesh Syal May 30, 2007
