Agricultural Show Sospel - the Smile
This lovely old man was happy to pose for a photo. He had difficulty getting about as you see in the smaller photo, yet not a word of complaint and a happy smile.

Ce charmant vieil homme était content de poser pour une photo. Il avait du mal à marcher comme on le voit sur la plus petite photo, mais pas un mot de plainte et un sourire heureux.
I like this b/w portrait!
ReplyDeleteGreat model you have found too.
You bring out his personality in that portrait.
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait. Both photos are great.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful face. You must have done skillful post-processing since his face is clear but he is backlit. Well, maybe spot metering.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a fantastic photo.
ReplyDeleteBob Crowe, yes - spot metering. f3.5 50 mm.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for lovely comments everyone. I love photographing faces with character and this guy made it so easy.
Very nice portrait.
ReplyDeleteone of your great portraits, Jilly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for daring to ask this wonderful man for a portrait. Most people are indeed happy to oblige but it's a not always easy to dare.
