Fantastic! Excellent angle and great character. Personally I would have preferred black & white. I'm not such a big fan of sepia, but of course this is personal taste.

Great story teller...Well captured.


Shirley Grove   {K:5406} 11/27/2005
Excellent shot Joggie! Your pictures, when just browsing, just jump out and say 'look at me'... not surprised when I then see who's taken it!

Fine portrait and landscape.......could it be you photographt this character before......seems he is enyoing himself. This deserves an award Joggie!


Joggie van Staden   {K:41251} 11/28/2005
Correct Peter, His name is Joe - this is how i found him, sitting on the railway. He was quite a willing subject - loved the attetion and even more so the handsome tip he recieved afterwards.

A great composition and portrait, Joggie. I like the diagonals, the sky and the sepia colours.


Bobby Mun   {K:3688} 11/29/2005
I like the tone and give me the antique mood.
The grainy effect gives great impact and nice to the picture.

Cheers! Bobby


Giorgio Goretti   {K:15471} 12/1/2005
well Joggie, when i see photos like this, any consideration about photographic quality should shut down, the content has the priority;
still too much invisible chains everywhere...
thanks for sharing, Giorgio

absolutely wonderful image! the leading lines of the tracks combined with the manipulation of tones are superb. Having a model like this is certainly a privelege for us photographers!
