Once again, my apologies for not posting over the last few days but this cold has left me feeling totally bereft of both energy and enthusiasm (and if I had a photograph of a bloke pushing a rock up a hill I'd post it). As it is, I came across this one in a folder of images I'd put aside from this year's Blackpool Pride event and decided it was worth posting. And yes, in case this one causes as much confusion as the last one, he is wearing make-up :-)
Anyway, I'm hoping I'll be over this cold in the next day or so, after which I'll get out and shoot some new material.

Oh...ey...hmmm.
I dunno what to say about this one. He´s kinda scary in a kind, happy way. Well...no I like him. He seems friedly. Nice portrait. Beautifully lit.
Get better soon Dave.

Sorry, David... not one of your best portraits. There is something both unnatural and scary about the post-processing of today and yesterday's shot. And to be even more critical, the flash light is a bit too obvious too, it seems it has been that way with most of the shots you took in this set.
Anyway, I am waiting for you to get well so that you can go out and shoot some genuine Chromasia stuff ;).

Put a smile on my face - looks a lovely bloke, great expression. Do worry about his cleansing routine though - how the heck does he get the make-up off - cotton wool and stubble cannot be a good mix ;-)

This is a wonderful portrait. The texture of his skin is beautiful. I would feel badly for him if he didn't see it. Really, really nice work.

Does it seems a bit too bright? I get a sense of needing to squint when looking at this.

Joe: It's not the brightness that makes you squint it's the 'horrible" that does.
