Rob MacKillop Edinburgh Correspondent Sep 2, 2015 #2 Wow, that's really striking. Well done. He's in a good, thoughtful pose. Love the freckles!
Jonathan Allen Active Member Sep 2, 2015 #3 Thank you, Rob. Glad you like his freckles. Besides the pose the freckles were the main thing I tried to bring out.

Ivar Dahl-Larsen Well-Known Member Sep 2, 2015 #6 A lovely portrait much to my liking, including the freckles which brings me back to my childhood. Red hair and freckles. Not too sure whether he likes his freckles though? They may blow away later on, if that's a consolation.

Pete Askew Admin Sep 5, 2015 #11 Very nicely done Jonathan. I like the pose, thoughtful look and isolation very much.
Jonathan Allen Active Member Sep 10, 2015 #14 Thanks, Paul. I just used a silver brolly overhead and a reflector underneath, kind of butterfly lighting. Post enhanced the look with dodge and burn.
