I took this shot of my husband Rab in a friend's living room. It was taken a few years ago, I think he was playing the guitar at the time, although you can't see it in the shot. There was only limited light coming in from a side window, so the background ended up in darkness and gave some nice shadows I thought. A slightly higher iso was used. Converted to black and white in PS.

Thought he looked young....

....you can tell he's playing guitar by the flared nostrils.

Aah, those curly locks, the furrowed brow, the nose sniffing the air for unfamiliar scents...

..I do believe he came second in the Cocker Spaniel section at Crufts.
;o)

do the nostrils flare in time with the rhythm or is it a breathing thing? I know breathing is usually key when playing musical instruments... is that also true of guitar? ;o)

Lol @ Boyd & Keith.

Cracking shot, especially after reading how it was taken.

That little scar - perfect.

Great lighting, maybe would crop just a little more from the the left side, right to the cheek bone works really well.
Great work

Brilliant lighting, wouldn't go for a crop in my opinion, works well like this.
Think I might have cloned out that small area at the bottom of what looks like a fleece or something.
Great work though!

the image speaks for its self. it makes you think whatis he thinking ?

Thanks folks - didn't think the crop would be to everyone's taste and I thought about cropping out the fleece but decided against it Smile

Ah, the ubiquitous fleece. I've started feeling a wave of disappointment when dinner guests (aka unwitting portrait subjects) turn up wearing fleece and tshirts - wondering if I can ask them to change into something with a bit more glamerous neckline...I think I'll just get some fabric to swathe round their shoulders.
