Excellent portrait image, Dick... you've captured him beautifully. #1391960

Thank you Carol. It has taken me years to ask an individual for permission to take his photograph. I'm a "details" type of person having been an engineer all of my working life and I enjoy observing people carrying on every day tasks. This man was from Peru. His eyes tell me he is pleased within and I am drawn to all of the character in his face. #9522161

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
Congratulations for your achievement, August, 25, 2011. Merna

Thank you Merna, and thanks to Carol too. It is a passion as you both well know. What a face this man has, and his eyes suggested he had so may stories that I would have loved to have heard. #9630896
