Russ A simple but very effective pose. A perfect example that often we are better off with the KISS theory. Looks like you have a very good working relationship with the subject. I like this image just as it is, but in my monitor I see the background a bit gray. I like it but I would also try the exact same pose with additional background lighting to turn it a brighter white. I often like black backgrounds, but it might not work as well in this case with the dark hat. I'd take it digital if its not already there and try them if you haven't already. I love the eyes in the image or should I say the eye. The catch light really makes the image pop off the page. Extremely well done.
Elson My father was an exterminator. Nuff said. Very creative. I wouldn't have thought of that.
John Very well done. This looks like the classic example of preparation meeting opportunity and a sharp eye recognizing it before it was gone. If it was posed, I am impressed with how natural it looks, but this looks all natural to me. The stucco walls made for some very interesting light on the face. Very well done John.
Jim Nice use of the S curve of the road to lead the eye into the photo. Reminds me of the back roads we used to travel as a teenage in a car that if we had totaled it we would have been out all of $50 or of trails we hiked for miles. Frankly if more people spent more time in places like this a better world it would be.
