Haze's strangers: No 107a: Owen

I could not decide which photo of Owen to post for my main album. I like he way his character comes through in this one.

You might tell me what you think:

He certainly has the look and build for a town crier. I prefer this photo, possibly because there is little to distract from the subject in the background.

Tim, thank you. You might guess which one I prefer and why? It's not really a sensible reason!

@quietpurplehaze Something to do with purple? Purple and sensible don't go together - Jenny Joseph wrote a poem about that.

No not to do with purple. I'll keep you in suspense for a bit. I thought you would be the person to guess.....

Good capture and he really stands out against the stone background.

he looks very happy in his costume!

And I look forward to hearing which one you like and why! Keeping us in suspense :)

I like this one. I think the lighting on his face is slightly better here and the background less distracting.

I prefer this portrait, because I think that the background is less distracting.

Owen looks so jovial and enjoying his role! Great candid.

technically this one is best as in the previous shot owens hat casts a bit of a shadow over his face. nice use of colour in this one haze

Awesome picture.

I prefer this one with the plainer background and the way he is holding his bell. Thought there might be a selfie but can't see one.

Sorry for late reply - as well as feeling that Owen's character comes through this portrait, I also like the starker background, as several others commented, and that background of stone wall and red door reminds me of France!
