Curiosity

This gentleman stood watching some birds in a tree long enough for me to get several shots and I like this one the best.

[Leslie]

how did you get the background so white? looks like he's waiting for Scotty to beam him up to your tundra picture

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Thought it was Peter de graff for a moment!!! fab focus and perfect composition, and love the edit.

Very nice portrait... I really like the B&W. :)

@lesip It was taken against a light sky ant then I upped the contrast which blew out the sky.

You amaze me Katy! I am way too chicken to take shots of others. This is a great shot of concentration. I like it in b&w and love the white background. Nice!!

[katy]

@deburahiru That means a lot to me Deb! Whenever you make positive comment I am always reminded of the time you said,"I don't like it" about my hand shot! ;~} Still love it today!

[Peter de Graaff]

Fabulously candid

[katy]

@peterdegraaff Thanks so much, Peter! did you see where Ruth thought it was you at first?!

[PasadenaRose]

That is one great candid! You really captured an interesting expression and the lighting and focus are fantastic. :-)
Oh, and the composition and crop...nothing detracting from him and his focused gaze. And the blown out sky worked out perfectly.
Think maybe I like this? LOL
FAV

[katy]

@pasadenarose I was getting the impression you liked it but the FAV put my speculation over the top! thanks a bunch! ;~}
