What a fantastic idea for a portrait. It works so well and it is so well exposed. The guy on the right looking straight down the lens works out really well.

I love the idea and the composition. A little fill flash would have brought the shutter speed up and thus the figure in the foreground would have been sharp but you would have lost the great shadows........a tough choice but it's still worked out well ;O)

@Craig@Random Ramblings: Thank you. Yea, this capture surely isn't perfect, and the 1s exposure time is suboptimal...but i had no flash available and no tripod at hand, and since this is a snapshot, i think the scene makes up for the lack of sharpness :)

Good DOF and lighting works well to set the mood.

i like the contrasts in lighting, with the fellow in the background in a pool of light (obscure and unknown)and the man in foreground in shadow, (whom we know) with clear expression and playful eyes. you are accomplishing great images, my friend! jim
