coffee stop

I asked Ray if I could try out a portrait just in case I decided to make a stranger of that nice young barista who welcomed us (I didn't after all.)

"You've cut my head off," said Ray. I told him it was sometimes an acceptable photographic practice but he did not seem convinced.

Think i have to agree with Ray (this once!!)

I like the partial head shot which makes for a nice portrait shot...nice composition

[Daryl O'Hare]

I used to agree with him but have been doing the forehead cutoff thing lately and I'm liking it. I like your composition!

[Helen]

Think it's a great portrait, I like the partial head shot when close to the face

[Bep]

It's a nice portrait, Hazel.

[Pat Knowles]

I think the head chop is insignificant here, a very natural portrait Hazel.

[Denise Wood]

Great that Ray was a willing and happy subject :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Fine portrait close-up - partial head is OK -- so is the twinkle in his eyes !! :) fav

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic portrait.

[wendy frost]

Great portrait only a small portion is OK I think.

[haskar]

Well, once, I thought so too! Well done and cool light.

[Hazel]

@beryl

Ray liked your. comment, needless to say!
He (just pretends to ) protests when I want to take his ohoto.....

[Babs]

Lovely shot of Ray. He does have a rather cheeky grin doesn't he. Like the kid who has eaten the last chocolate biscuit and hasn't owned up.

@onewing

NOW he is laughing!

[Casablanca]

@onewing That made me laugh out loud!

[Phil Howcroft]

i must admit I am always nervous about cutting heads off as I never know where to stop :) Hello Ray :)
