Brian Moore Moderator Oct 31, 2013 #2 Lovely shot. It does have the feel of a person in utter despair.
Pete Askew Admin Oct 31, 2013 #3 That works really well with the figure so tonally contrasting with the otherwise uniform tones.
Julian de'Courcy Well-Known Member Oct 31, 2013 #4 Often hard to get clarity in such a shot, this works a treat.
Rob MacKillop Edinburgh Correspondent Oct 31, 2013 #5 Lovely. I don't get despair from him. He's just seen a mermaid looking up at him...

Chris Dodkin West Coast Correspondent Nov 1, 2013 #7 Very nice B&W - love the general tones, but especially the subject, who just pops
Paul Lange Moderator Nov 1, 2013 #8 He is just a little dot in the image but my eyes go straight to him. Like you say the pose is great too.
