Haze's strangers: No.16a: Joshua red s/c

Occasionally I find I really like two portraits of a 'stranger' so that becomes another post.

After this shot http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2015-10-18

I tried the a6000 on its in-camera prog of b&w with s/c red to focus on Joshua's cloak. As usual it had trouble with a large area of red and a soft surface but here's the shot with a helping hand from the clone facility in FastStone.

I find that I like the light and the atmosphere in the first shot.

Both shots are very good in capturing his personality. Hard to say which one is better!
