Gritty, and lovely contrast... you must be editing away... lots of good'uns? cj

Another crisp and nice portrait. I like his expression. Very nice!

Love the twinkle and the light you've caught in his eyes.

I *reallly* like this one :-)

Libby - I hope you mean the superb processing and composition ;-D

Jennifer - But of course! - although he does look a very nice person too! ;-)
Dave is waiting to board his flight home now, and I can't wait to see whats else he's taken. It sounds like he's had a great week :-)

Libby - bet it's been a long week, hope you get chance to chill together - I'd nick his CF cards and hide them for a couple of days ;-) All the best.

another stunning portrait.

great work Dave, one of your best portraits I think, especially well composed background.

Thanks all :-)

Jennifer: I'm not planning on doing much post-processing over the next day or so and will take some time to chill out :-)

splendid, much better than the day before, in my opinion ;)
