Paimpont 2018: Day 23 - Benjamin...

... our neighbour popped in tonight to ask us to look after his cats for a couple of days. He ended up staying for dinner... and it cost him his portrait!
such a wonderful portrait. he seems like a warm, relaxed, cheery fellow with a twinkle in his eye. in my view he also looks very french ... but may well not be of course! you must have put him at his ease for this sympa image ...

Super natural portrait...we all know that nothing comes for free, and I say if this is the cost for you looking after his cats then he has come away a winning situation as have you! If I could and would fav it more than once!

Very nicely done. Good focus and tones and especially the expression.

Lovely, natural-looking portrait!

This is a beautiful portrait. I find the skin tones hard to manage in b&w. His skin tone is beautiful and so is the connection with the photographer.

Ah, he looks like a happy chap! Bet he was glad to get dinner and a cat sitter!

@kt8ird For natural looking skin-tones I find that I need to brighten the red channel quite a bit and fine-tune the result with the orange and yellow channels... try it and see what you think.

@pistache Thank you Clare... he's 'better' than French - he's Breton ;-)

Benjamin has a winning smile, I'm thinking he may be quite persuasive.

He has the look of 'actually expecting to be asked" A good neighbour!
