100 Strangers : Round 3 (Extra Photo) : No. 257 : Lorenzo and Alex

Here is an added bonus i.e. an extra photo of Lorenzo and Alex (strangers 257)

My stranger photo of Lorenzo and Alex was in colour and I had a tree branch very close to Alex's head, which I wasn't happy about when I saw the photo as a thumbnail.

So here is an extra photo of Lorenzo and Alex. As followers will know, I always love a mono portrait

Sony RX100 VII , edited it GIMP with catchlight enhancements via GIMP brushes from Obsidian http://www.obsidiandawn.com

[LManning (Laura)]

Oh, I do like this one. Well done!

[Pat Knowles]

I could see what you meant about the tree branch when I looked again but only noticed after you mentioned it! This is a better one in that respect though. Lovely photo.

[Casablanca]

Nice edit, it's a lovely portrait

[Margo]

Great shot

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful portrait, Phil. Your portrait shots are always fabulous whether in colour or in mono. It is difficult for me to decide which ones I like best.

[Judith Johnson]

It's gorgeous and don't they look good together? Well captured Phil.
