Fantastic framing, wonderful B&W tones and great vignetting. An overall great composition and a real neglected antique which adds so much character.

Now, how like a fisherman to be so busy with his lines that he doesn't seem to notice the glorious sunset all around him! The oranges and yellows are so intense and the silhouettes lovely.

The golden tones and low pov of this portrait are beautiful. The Clarity of all his nooks and crannies is amazing. I keep thinking that "BronX" is going to jump right out and lick me...or maybe just drool a little. :-) Fabulous work - perfect model!

The composition, the colors, the textures, the lighting, and the overall lightness of the feather so beautifully conveyed... Have I given enough reasons why this instantly became one of my favorites? I could look at it again and again and find more to enjoy each time. Sometimes, less really is more.

Congratulations, Firenzesca!
