Okay... several thoughts. First off... I admire your creativeness and your love for photography. You always make the effort to come up with something and that's admirable. Secondly, I love the pose. To me it suggests contemplation... calling to mind... prayer... hope and definitely not despair. I wonder at the vignetting. Why did you include that? Not that I object to it but I wonder why and what you think it adds to the portrait. Lastly, I wish I could see at least one eye. The eyes are the windows to the soul and without at least one eye, especially in such an evocative pose as this, you're left wondering.

The eyes are the windows to the soul aint that the truth  In this impromptu photo of the welcome guy at Cornerstone Church there just wasn't time to fuss very much with the shot....so I got what I got so to speak. For every chance that comes my way to shoot while taking my time to set the light and what not... there's like 20 times where I ask if I can take a shot...and get time limited permission for one or two quick shots. The vignette? Why that was just to direct focus back to the subject and darken down an overly exposed up region of the pic. This was shot in mixed room light so again, I got what I got. The bright light shinning on his balding head did catch my eye and thought that it looked like he was in The Light so to speak. The best paintings of Daniel in the lion's den have him not looking at the lions but looking up past the lions. So even though things can appear to look dark and dismal the man of faith shines as a light in a dreary land. And keeps looking up with hopeful expectation regardless, searching and waiting and looking well beyond the dark clouds over his head. We look far beyond to a city not made by hands. |

Very insightful, Charlie, but if you're thinking of taking up an offering... well... forget it.  |

Makes me wonder what he is looking at. thanks for saying that Chris.... that was what the idea and when you consider that is not usually the case, it does qualify as a 'different' pose. Everyone like to see something new and different, no? |
