Great details from the interesting, angled light. Like the dark BG. A bit of a head turn for me but no biggie.

Hi John,

Handsome shot! Lots of fine detail, nicely exposed against the darker background. Looking really good!

Thanks for sharing,

Gerald

Nice spot light effect on the head and amazing details.

I am liking the lighting and dark BG here, John. Great details and spot on exposure. He looks quite pensive.

[John Robinson]

Thanks all
.Certainly was pensive- he knew there was something there in that little square tent but couldnt work it out !
