I've already commented briefly on the other three shots of him that you posted after this one. As I said WRT the "middle" on of those other three, I find the frame and chicken wire in the background to be somewhat distracting. Okay, now that I look closer, I guess it's not chicken wire, but a metal reinforcing mesh in skylight glass, but still, I do find it distracting. Too bad, because I really like the angle from which you shot him, I like his pose. Nice dof. There's something about his face that really speaks volumes. It's - what's the word? - serene. Very cool. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
