There's not much I can tell you about this one other than a) it was snapped as Tom and I followed the bride and groom around Venice, and b) I thought the guy had an interesting face and world-class eyebrows :-)

That's some kind of wild forest he's peering through :)

Ha. Those brows are epic indeed ;)

This one has such wonderful conceptual and visual contrast.
Weathered, textured old man v. smooth shiny new technology. I really love how the contrast of the lights and darks in the background serve to further separate the two main elements. Amazing photo! =)

Great shot, fast lense, incredible detal. I love the contrast. Very nice indeed.

WOW the Zonal range is fantastic, all the way down to the surface textures. I love the perfect positioning of the camera over the black bokeh bg.

As far as the eyebrows go however...every month when I get my hair cut I have her cut my eyebrows back to a nubbin'...but within 3-4 weeks there they are again. I think I could give this guy some competition someday. :)

Love the tones here...faces are always fascinating and his could tell many stories...

Totally agree with Dan, I love the treatment you did and the zonal range, it is fantastic! Great shot Dave, lovely composition too.

comment by Jason at 04:29 PM (GMT) on 23 October, 2009

Excellent shot. He does have very interesting eyebrows. Great find. The camera against the black background really makes this image for me as it really makes the image pop off my screen...

Hi again, just thought I point out to you that your Fotomoto widget is not active on this shot and Venezia #5. I figure the others in the series you don't have as you can't sell them...

Wonderful tones and dof ... yummy sophisticated simplicity.

Love him and his eyebrows! Nothing better than a really unique face!

comment by Will at 12:56 AM (GMT) on 25 October, 2009

Really nice portrait, the old man looks so intense...crazy eyebrows he has there too.

comment by DedicatedRR at 01:23 AM (GMT) on 25 October, 2009

My first thought was also that the man has amazing eyebrows XD

comment by minimodi at 07:10 PM (GMT) on 25 October, 2009

yes, its a couple of respective eyebrows. really good shot too.

comment by oldshutterhand at 07:30 AM (GMT) on 27 October, 2009

Interesting face and expression.

comment by Jonathan Leake at 01:21 AM (GMT) on 29 October, 2009

Great shot and well balanced. My grandfather has similar eyebrows!

comment by LightningPaul at 12:25 PM (GMT) on 29 October, 2009

Very STRONG composition! Really Super!

comment by Nick Lewis at 11:43 PM (GMT) on 2 November, 2009

Something appears to have really caught his attention. He is watching whatever it may be with avid fascination, calculating the moment to take his shot :-)

Thoroughly enjoyable shot!
