A gentleman I know has a wonderful garden which he loves to look after every day. Since his retirement he goes out in his garden straight after breakfast and doesn't come back in until it turns dark.
Regardless of the weather he is either making his garden just right or he's in his tool shed making something for the house. The weather may have taken it's toll, but he has a love for his plants..
Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.
Wonderful portrait! I think he looks like an interesting fellow, those are character lines. One look at him and a person can tell he loves to be outdoors. Well done.
A marvellous portrait picture. btw thank you for your recent comments, we have had a houseful so have had no time , but now we are down to just Beth who is busy studying for her Law course , I should be able to catch up
Such a good portrait, Heather. This really reveals the character and looks into the soul of the man. How great that he looks after the garden with such dedication.
@joeyc Thank you Joey, that was my first attempt but I chose someone with character, turned to B & W before making it deeper in colour. You can take a wider shot and crop it to get the portrait.
@libertylady Thanks Alice, it has been hammering down all day in my area and I found out that he still can't stay in doors, he's making a bird table in his workshop.
Excellent work, you have really captured his character, well done you.
I just wanted to pop in to say thank you for all your kind words and support, they have meant a great deal to me. Happy New Year to you and happy snapping.
