Almost looks like he is watching a baseball game. The bright lights and the fence make me think of that.

Eric You are darn close.:clap:clap:clap

He is watching batting practice next to a little league field. My son's team had the "cage" for an hour. This shot was taken at 1/20 of a second at nearly 200mm focal length - gotta love stabilization!

I saw the light with the fence and a face with great character, and conciously tried to capture almost exactly what you see on the screen. Personally, I really like this photo. I think it's one of the better candids I've taken in a while.

Thanks for the kind comments. :clap

My son had a batting practice session at the local little league field facility and they have these cages set up with pitching machines. I saw this grandpa watching his grandson at bat.:lust

I really like this shot as well. It is almost exactly what I anticipated before I put the camera to my face.

Yes, I think it's awesome. I think older man are some of the best to capture. The lines add character and the eyes hold so much. Well done!
