Ac-cordial.

I've been in pursuit of something for the artist challenge but I haven't been able to find anything menacing. This chap had an interesting face and Kubrick did take quite a few musicians but I'd have prefered it if he hadn't looked so friendly - the trouble is that I'd just given him a pound...

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fantastic processing. Very cool shot xx

[Alison Tomlin]

Menacing? He looks a real sweet heart! Nice pic though

[Jen Hudson]

Like the b/w makes a great portrait. He certainly is giving you a very charming smile, nice capture.

[Brian Baptie]

Cool shot!!

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast Well I don't know what I'd do if I found menacing - I only managed 10 mins of Clockwork Orange.

[Pat Knowles]

He has a twinkle in his eye !!! By the way Judith in our info sheet at church today, Larkhill AGM Saturday 2nd June !! Thought of you !!!

[Diana Moss]

This looks great in b&w. maybe you should have given him another pound to look the part lol

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat Ooh - because we finished off at Newnham Lark Hill never invite us to reunions - Sr Gabriel stills writes to my mum though!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Its at Newnham Judith & how sweet of Sr Gabriel !

[Judith Greenwood]

@snowy Hahaa - I thought about it but for the language barrier!

[Phil Howcroft]

great bit of monochrome judith, we have an eastern European accordion player who visits arnold quite a bit (especially around christmas time) ...this guy looks quite eastern european ....our accordion player has a repertoire of about 2 songs...I'm sure the staff at 'New Look' get a little annoyed with him !

[Peggy Sirk]

Fabulous portrait and wonderful editing, Judith! After receiving a pound he's going to look like your new best friend ~ all smiles. :)

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the treatment. The b&w brings out all the interesting accordion detail.

[Jane Pittenger]

great capture and like the b and w

[Kimberlee]

love this!

[Graham Harcombe]

Goodness knows you paid him enough to growl a little had you asked! Worked out very nicely though.

[Sheri]

Great shot!

[Hazel]

I really like this shot!

[Louie]

Great shot Judith. Love the focus and the B&W works so well.

[Joanna Payne]

You should have said you weren't going to give him anything at all, take the shot and then reward him with the pound!! Though of course you would have risked him looking very sad instead of menacing.

[samantha]

Maybe you should have given him the pound after? =) nice shot though, im a chicken when it comes to photographing strangers!

[Sue Barnicoat]

if you'd shouted at him to go away and stop making a racket I'm sure you would have made him scowl. hehe. Its a lovely photo.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

You shouldn't have been so generous til after the shot!

[Susan Bell]

He doesn't look as though he is concentrating on his music. More like concentrating on you!
