Critique Welcomed A Swede

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Pentax K30 and a 70mm/2,4 at 2,4

 

[Pete Askew]

What a fine, but intriguing, portrait Ivar. Weathered in many ways.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Pete. I wanted to find out how good the 70mm pancake lens is, and this Swede seemed to pop out of the woodworks just in front of it.

 

[Brian Moore]

A horned helmet and a chain mail jerkin would suit him well. Handsome portrait, Ivar.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Brian, I promise myself not to show the Swede this, it might get to his head. Speaking about his helmet, they never had horns on their helmets Brian. Not in Norway anyway.

Of course they did, Ivar. I see it in the movies and television all the time.

 

[Tom Dunne]

What a natural and unadulterated portrait Ivar. It's so real, even better than a photograph

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Tom, I painted it with a 70mm at 2,4 and a brush called K30 while I defrosted the Swede
