This gentleman was a Lister B steam Traction owner , who was exhibiting at the Dorset County Show.

He wore a t-shirt emblazoned with : " Lister B owners Make Better Lovers."

I've entitled it "The Crow Man", as he reminded me a little of the Crow Man in the Wurzel Gummidge series.

I've uploaded the original colour straight from camera version also.

A real character, & I love characters.

Hope you like it,

Gareth

I think I want V2, he's a colourful gentleman after all.
Looks more like a Morris dancer than a traction engine owner. Maybe he does a bit of Morris as a side-line?

A strong portrait in mono, Gareth, the eyes are somewhat scary!

Image Number One Gareth certainly goes to show, there is wisdom in those feathers.

Great portrait, very well captured and processed.
