Hi Richard, how are you? I love the mood of this photo, the cosmopolitan side of it, his/her face, the timing... Was it a kind of Gay pride Parade? It is like a frame of Antonioni´s "Blow up".

Lovely capture, Richard. I think I like this one the best out of your three posts in this series. Technically it is very good and I like the expression that you have captured. Good job the ban was implemented in the middle of summer - he'd be a bit cold outside in that garb. Cheers . . . David

This is really a great shot Richard! I like the straight colors and the soft light! a ggod echo to our Parisian Gay Pride;-)

Hi Richard!
Great portrait in your nice little serie.Good placement,a nice blurred background and I like the way how he is holding the cigarr and how he is looking at your camera.

There is that very small area in your photo Richard,
that had managed to changed EVERYTHING...
From a 'dead' face into a lively face...
From a photo of someone into a PORTRAIT of someone...
That miniature (by comparisson with the rest of the picture) zone - are his eyes...!!!

Hundreds of pictures with 'dead' faces... Just very, very few 'the talking' ones.
And this is a fantastic sample of a 'talking' face...
Into my theme...
Into my heart...

PS; Greatly finished.. Pros' presentation

Hi Richard - coming to this one quite late but glad I spotted it. Both a humorous and serious tone here, brought out my the character in question. From the manner of dress to the way his eyes are peering out from some larger frame glasses, this all works so well together.
