Hard Headed

Between a highland games throwing hammer and a stubborn athlete I am not sure which is this harder of the pair.

UH, yeah, so, I am single... and yes, the hammer loses!

Understated power...Great picture!

Matt		21-Aug-2009 16:32
Some very good contrast in the picture. The still calmness in the face belies the power of the man. I like the B&W too. It brings out the simple force of it all.

Jessica		21-Aug-2009 16:00
This is an awesome picture. B&W makes it classic but the subject is really what makes it great.

Guest		21-Aug-2009 13:40
The silent power and grace in this person is amazing.

Kitt Frost		21-Aug-2009 13:27
This is a good photo. The man in it is defiantly worth saving for the ages.

Guest		21-Aug-2009 12:59
Very nice. Very classic looking. Still getting used to seeing him clean shaven. Hope y'all are having fun with the heavy things while I am in Africa.

Maaike Huizer		21-Aug-2009 07:05
He definitely looks strong

cits_4_pets		21-Aug-2009 06:36
ah the hammer throw....hope you did well. Nice in B&W.

Guest		21-Aug-2009 04:51
Awesome shot! You know, people pay lots of money for plug-ins that make photos look like this and you were able to do it by your own natural talent. You make him look Very nice! Got my vote.

Morgan		21-Aug-2009 04:50
I like the black and white. It really defines the moment. Very good angle, too. Nice shot, B!

MaritaBeth		21-Aug-2009 04:11
Great job on the use of black and white! As portraits go, this guy has to be thrilled with how you've captured him!

Guest		21-Aug-2009 04:08
What a beautiful portrait. Well done, as always, B!

Ken		21-Aug-2009 03:15
Nice composition, and the angle you took on the challenge was great... The triangle works...

Inga Morozoff		21-Aug-2009 01:57
Wow, great portrait!

Nancy Lobaugh		21-Aug-2009 01:41
I'm not sure I'd want have either of them run into my head! works well in B&W

Scott Browne		21-Aug-2009 01:21
Looks like a good head on his shoulders.

Cindi Smith		21-Aug-2009 00:55
I like it!!! Yep, I agree, with the look on his face, the hammer is the loser here. Great shot and idea for the challenge!

mhartman		21-Aug-2009 00:44
I really like this. He looks so strong and stoic.

Laryl		21-Aug-2009 00:19
looks darn serious!

Jola Dziubinska		20-Aug-2009 23:45
He sure is strong and honest looking. Great portrait.

J. Scott Coile		20-Aug-2009 23:41
Hard heads. Strong heart.

Toni Castulik		20-Aug-2009 23:32
Good, stoic shot!

Jason		20-Aug-2009 23:18
1. Add to the list of people not to make angry...check

Guest		20-Aug-2009 23:10
Handsome fellow! I'd like to see this shot again with a full-body perspective, and without the hoodie. Doesn't look like someone I'd want to annoy :)

James P		20-Aug-2009 22:42
Sheesh he kicks the crap out of me at Highland games... now he looks a hell of a lot better than me.. damn can't win... ;)

Guest		20-Aug-2009 22:41
Never thought 'Highland' and 'Clean Cut' would go together. Great shot, and a great subject!

Linda Willets		20-Aug-2009 22:41
Good tough one!!

Guest		20-Aug-2009 22:41
...or Thor. I don't see Superman with hammer's very often. I'll go with Thor.

Jo		20-Aug-2009 22:40
Georgeous! Good photography too... wink

Guest		20-Aug-2009 22:39
I love the use of black and white on this one.

Guest		20-Aug-2009 22:39
Its a very good picture of everyone's favourite target! Duncan's looking like Superman with the hammer over his shoulder.

Jen		20-Aug-2009 22:37
That hammer doesn't stand a chance! :-)
