Oh goodness. You have to tell us how you snapped this near perfect photo. It's very dramatic - the lighting is fantastic. (If only that piece of paper weren't on the floor. Can you do anything about it?) Beautiful! :thumb

Tell us, did you ask his permission before snapping?

I was down at Union Station, and I was doing my best to get some portraits, and this guy just struck me as a great one, I asked him if he'd mind and he said "Well sure if you think it'll help"

I get everything from "get outta my face, to Oh me but I'm so ugly, to absolute flattery that I want to take their picture.

I have to admit, I tell a disarming little fib, I tell them I'm a student and that I have an assignment to get a portrait of someone and would they mind? I think people are much more willing to be photographed if they feel like they're doing you a huge favor.:):
