Klaas

Artists wear the best colors and have such a sense of style . . .

Here, I have asked illustrator Klaas Verplancke (www.klaas.be) to stand against a wall so I can adjust my settings to take a portrait of another friend who needed a portrait. He's laughing at the very idea of being a "stand in" and his laugh seems to fill the whole space so I decided not to crop as I had initially intended.

An excellent shot - love the colour contrasts and this chap's laughing face.

[Tracie Broadhead]

[Laura]

Great image.

I like this fun, candid shot. Great colours and background.

[Pam Knowler]

Great portrait - love his smile!!

[James LaTrobe]

Nice movement in his look out of the frame. I like his closed eyes too for some reason. I like it in colour, but it might be great in black and white too.

We photographers often forget, I think, that a simple, natural photo of another human can be very wonderful.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

A superb shot! Brilliant and I can hear his laughter!

[Michael Van Krey]

I really like how natural this looks. It's a fav for me!

[Mariya]

[bardejov]

Very nice and like you said, his laugh is filling in the frame.

[Daryl O'Hare]

Natural is so good. Just wonderful.

[Simply Amanda]

what a wonderful candid. love the laughter you captured!

[Simply Amanda]

Came back to fav. Really great art! I think that b&w would have made this a stronger image, though perhaps. The background is intriguing.

[Sean O'Neill]

A candid full of life.

[❀ Lynn]

Great portrait...as an outstanding person in his own right, he would have found it funny to be a 'stand-in'!

awesome shot

This off-centre shot works very well. The negative space is important.
