Sun dappled Morris man by dulciknit

Sun dappled Morris man

This is one of the members of the Morris side that Lester's in, so not a stranger but a friend who kindly consented to me posting this.
Barry dances and is also a very accomplished recorder player.
(The recorder is much-maligned, largely because of the racket so many of us made with it at school but in the right hands it's a wonderful instrument. Barry makes wonderful instruments of his recorders.)
Lovely photo.

Wonderful! Love the way you've captured the light shining through his straw hat onto his face. From his happy expression, I believe he enjoyed having his picture taken.

Lovely portrait of Barry with the sunlight and shadows on his face. He has a great smile. Have never heard a recorder played by someone who knows how to play. Has he posted anything on YouTube?

Lots of character in this portrait. Lovely smile too.

Lovely portrait! He looks like a wonderful person

Your portrait really shows the person - that smile I bet really describes him well. Know he's got to be pleased with your work. Like others, I've heard a recorder in school, but bet his work is nothing like that! Love the effects of the lighting the way you shot this.

What a great portrait....love those speckles on his face from the sun coming though his hat. He looks very contented!!! Would love to hear the music played.

That's a sweet portrait and I like the pattern of his hat on his face. A lot of bagpipers played recorders.

You have caught such a great expression om his face, very soft and gentle, a lovely smile and eyes. The hat shadow of lattice work is a great addition. Will be interested to listen to the recorder link, my efforts at school were definitely not in that league.

Lovely portrait. Great use of light and shadows.
