Character Study

Deciding not to leave it to chance today I asked a family member to pose for me. His wife told him he didn't have to smile for me and yet when it came time to take the photo he had a hard time NOT smiling.
Stunning capture. Great lighting. Fav

This is so interesting to me as my older son once had a beard like this too. If I had a similar shot of him and we put the two photos side by side, someone would say they were related. Nicely done!

This is so wonderful. I just looked through the whole month to date and love every single picture. So many of them capture an element of emotion. I think the waitress was trying not to smile as well. And the kiddo on the 22nd.... Superb.

@olivetreeann there are so many similarities between us that I am certain we must be related somehow, Ann! So glad you like this one!
@timewalker i'm really honored that you like it so much Pam thank you especially for that FAV!
@francoise that is really so very nice of you to say! The funny story about the waitress I took the picture and when I looked at the thumbnail on my camera it didn't look like she was smiling so I said let me take another one where you are smiling. She said "I thought I was smiling in that one!" When I looked at it later on the big screen I realize she was smiling but she was very self-conscious! I'm struggling to find one of the kiddo on the 22nd but thank you so much

Fabulous capture with such wonderful lighting. Instant fav.
Good for him (and his wife) for posing for you. At least you didn't have to risk another stranger's negative reaction.

@kwiksilver Thanks bunches for the FAV especially Gillian! There was some question if he would really pose for me after his wife told me he would but she didn't ask him first! in the end he was fine with it!
