portrait of a stranger

I took it without asking, I should have asked and made him look at me, he had piercing blue eyes

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

Been there, done that. It takes guts to ask first and I don’t have ‘em often enough. Really like the gritty look.

[Helen Sanderson]

a real interesting face

[Wylie]

a soulful shot. Very emotional shot.

[Caterina]

It’s beautiful anyway, with that pensive expression. Fav

[Jodie]

[Krista Marson]

[Korcsog Károly]

Nice, sincere portrait!

[Korcsog Károly]

If we ask for permission before photography, we rarely get good results. When they notice it I'll show the photo and if I do not like it, I'll delete it.

I agree with Karoly. Great Portrait.

[Jerome]

a very touching portrait

[Graham Harcombe]

Wonderful 'characterful' face. nicely done.

[Dawn]

Such a interesting craggy face

[Shari]

Amazing shot. For the feel of the photo.

[Shari]

Love the feel of the photo, not "for".

[Helen Jane]

Asking always spoils the thing that drew you to want the capture in the first place. But not asking seems rude. It is such a difficult area. I really admire those who are doing the portraits of stranger project and finding out something about the strangers along the way. This is an excellent portrait.
