portraits in mono: Neil

My recent post of Neil's ingredients ready to make chicken jalfrezi has, in turn, prompted this post.

In addition to his skills as sous-chef (or perhaps that should be chef) in our house, our son is an aficionado/connoisseur of good wine.

I took this photo when we 3 were out for a meal on his birthday last November.

Here he is, checking out the celebratory bubbles and I have taken my opportunity to convert to mono for my series of occasional portraits.

Wonderful portrait!

[Babs]

What a lovely photo of Neil. He looks like a very kind person

[Anne]

This works so well in b&w, he looks intent on his task

[Phil Howcroft]

Works well in mono and good to have a discerning wine drinker in the family haze

[Pat Knowles]

Excellent photo of Neil. He is really enjoying reading that wine label. The black & white is the perfect choice.

[gloria jones]

Great photo

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful portrait, especially meaningful with one of his passions.

[amyK]

Very nice portrait and the monochrome is great

[Issi Bannerman]

This is a nice portrait. I like these mini bottles of Prosecco (if that's indeed what it is ...) - especially handy if no-one else wants fizz!

[Tunia McClure]

a real keeper

[Hazel]

Thanks everyone for your visits and comments. Neil usually manages to avoid my camera so this was a rare opportunity to take his portrait! Happy weekend, all!
