Cool person

[Diego Garcia]

I took this picture of a man walking past me. I asked him to stop and he let me take his picture. Very model looking. What do you think?

Tight crop for effect I like the crives of the building in his sunglasses.

Excellent portrait! It looks like Jenson Button with lots of hair!

Having confidence to stop people and ask to take there photo is a skill indeed! Good stuff again!

Ed :)

Nice shot and ditto what kinobe said :)

He takes a good portrait I'll say that for him ... shame about the deep shadow caused by hid node ? :thinking:

And he has clean shades on ... how lucky is that ! You didn't ask him to clean them - did you ?

And what confidence you have to ask him in the first place ! I suppose they can only say no eh ? Or lump you one ... :lol:

TFS ...

[matty]

excellent! I would never dream of stopping and asking someone!!

[Pook]

OMG! it's Richard Ashcroft LOL

[Arkady]

That crop works very well. Good shot that!

Thanks for your kind words. Here is another attempt at person. He is called Rocco. My friend, Italian. Not quite as nice as first picture but get him perfectly. Little bit noisy and finding my 30D inconsistent with noise :|

On this one I added some noise in picassa as I like industrial pictures with some noise. Slight sepia adjustment and USM in CS2. I thinking it work?

OMG! it's Richard Ashcroft LOL
lol, exactly what i thought. saw him on jules holland last nigt and thought he'd come back to haunt me here!

all good portraits ***. i really like the last one.

[Agro]

Damn you lot I was going to say Richard Ashcroft too, so I'll say he looks like my friend Bert instead, who happens to have an uncanny resemblance to Richard Ashcroft :D

Definatly being B&W helps make the first two shots, I like them alot. :)

Lovely shots...............Richard Ashcroft..........and Bruce Springsteen.......what high circles you move in!! LOL:)
That first one.....WOW...didnt you get his number for me! ;)

[Diego Garcia]

Nice guy but he have a whopper of a nose! :lol: Surely not sexy? :cuckoo:

[Janice]

"sexy" is lots of things added up together! Just a nose doesnt make sexy or un-sexy!! It might look horrid on someone else but it suits him....and I certainly wouldnt kick him out of bed! ;)
