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.

  4. A wonderful face. You must have done skillful post-processing since his face is clear but he is backlit. Well, maybe spot metering.

    Congratulations 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.
