Super portrait in a landscape format.The execution, as expected, is very well done.

Very well done, Lee. That streak of mascara or eyeliner running down from his left eye is an especially good touch. Might you have any real closeups of that? It probably wouldn't work for this challenge, but I think it would be quite dramatic. As if he's not dramatic enough already.

Thanks.

It has been 95f during the day and just a hot and humid at night.

He was a friend of one of the photographers from MySpace.

A shot that will stick in my mind and the sweat on brow is what I come back to. Quite a take on the big color theme because the colorsare not loud but intense in an erath tone sort of way. Bill

This is great Lee- very well done. Where do you or your photo buddies come up with all these characters for modeling, Craigslist?

Great color and edgy look! Hot indeed - glistening sweat does add to the mood. - angioman

Thanks TV. No, just a guy who wanted his picture taken.

A friend Lee? I see this as effective modeling even if not acting. I like the skull echoing the stoney gaze of the sugject. A mix of "reality" and self-aware style seems to work in the Andy Warhol tradition. -tv
