I forgot this photo, it was in the "next" folder. Spent time working it up, too. His face was "in the shadows", backlit from what light there was. I do let my photos go dark where they want to. Fighting it, making a photo all one degree of lt/dark, it just doesn't do what I want. But I did bring out enough of the man's face that it worked for me. If someone doesn't think it works, let me know how much further I should have gone and how.
He wanted to pose with this Red Drum, the kind of fish. This might be termed a snapshot, lots of these photos floating around of people holding fish, but I like his expression and all, so serious about his fish. Extra friendly man.
I certainly had to work it up, I plan to have one of each person who posed printed so I can give each a copy. And I am sure he would have been wandering around looking for his photo if everyone else got one and he didn't.
Smile, thanks for looking,
ginger
