Family matters

All my family know my brother 'hates' having his photo taken, and so he was not expecting me to really snap this! I like the direct eye contact with the lens - a bit like his direct approach to life! I am hoping he will be happy with this. Happy Birthday! xx

Fabulous portrait - yes, the eye contact is strong and really makes the pic! Nice one, I'm sure he'll be very pleased.

Awesome capture!

@thebluegnu Thankyou so much for your comment ! I am pleased with this - a) because I don't have any pictures of him taken in the last than 20 years! and b) I do think it captures his personality, and the shot also includes reference to his great passion for cycling.

He looks like a nice man. Love your portrait of him!

@nattybabe I appreciate your comment Nat - I always admire your wonderfully uninhibited compositions! I am a 'work in progress' in that area! :)

great capture and portrait :)

[Denise]

He has very intense eyes. This is a great candid capture with the unexpected eye contact. Very nice portrait.

[Lyn Todd]

@denisedaly thankyou for your kind words Denise - I agree his blue eyes are intense.

[lesley allen]

Nice portrait, yes your right he is looking right at you. How about selective colour, selecting his blue eyes? Just a thought!

[Lyn Todd]

@samdan, thanks, yes I had thought SC would look interesting too.

[Seth Tan]

This is a wonderful portrait :) I love that he's just looking at you and the b&w is gorgeous.
