Be Happy Mon!

People seemed to like my Jamaican friend, whose street shot photo I posted a few days ago. So I thought I'd share a different angle that I captured.

What I learned in taking this photo: Trying to catch alternate viewpoints, especially unusual ones, can yield some very interesting results.

wonderful big smile, great POV and composition, the palm tree is a perfect background ~ fav

[KWind]

[Taffy]

He does have an infectious smile. Have to smile back!

[Lyn Todd]

a lovely perspective indeed!

[Jorlam]

i look at this beaming guy and just cannot help smiling too.. viewing this is a lovely start to my day.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Peter]

Stunning point of view and focus, love the way you have positioned him in the frame Ron, you have really captured this happy character very well:)

[Babs]

Quite a character and great viewpoint. He looks like Carmen Miranda with the palm tree growing out of his head.

[Poppo Livy]

Don't worry be happy

[Claes]

Great character portrait.

[Rachel]

Very cool dude!

[Karen H]

[Louise & Ken]

LOVE it! This guy has found a good gig, and bless him for earning a living while bringing people pleasure! (Give him something extra from me ... I owe you ; )

@lynnz Thanks so much for the kind comments Lynn.

[Ron]

@kwind Thanks so much for stopping by to view and comment so nicely!

[Ron]

@taffy Thanks Taffy. His smile and enthusiasm were also very infectious in person.

[Ron]

@ltodd Thanks Lyn. The many nice comments made it worth all of the pain and exertion to get down to get the angle.

[Ron]

@jorlam Well, I'm happy that he was able to start the day off for you on an upbeat note. Thanks so much!

[Ron]

@gilbertwood Thanks Denise!

[Ron]

@pcoulson Thank you for the kind critique Peter. I did contort my body into undesired positions to get some varied angles. Somehow it all worked out. I'm just glad nobody was there to capture me!

[Ron]

@onewing Thanks Babs - I had that thought too....or maybe Sideshow Bob, but if I recall you said you don't get the Simpsons. Too bad. :-(

[Ron]

@terryliv I almost - almost - used that for my title. Forced myself to utilizing yet another song title.

[Ron]

@runner365 Interesting choice of words, character portrait, and I think that's a very interesting way to state it. It's a picture that really captures his character. Thanks for those great words!

[Ron]

@888rachel Thanks Rachel - cool in every sense of the word. I think I'll go back and visit him again soon.

[Ron]

@tigerdreamer Well, that's a unique point that you made, but I happen to agree. Thanks for noticing the details!

[Ron]

@simta Спасибо Tatiana. Он был определенно счастливый парень. Это заразно!

[Ron]

@cjphoto Thanks Chris. I worked hard for that angle - and I'm still hurting!

[Ron]

@Weezilou Thanks Louise - I gave him three grand in your name. You can pay me when we next reunite. ;-)
