Hand Portrait

March 15, 2006

I took several portraits of this crusty old cowboy, but to me this closeup shot of one weathered hand, hooked over a worn leather belt is the more powerful image.


other sizes: small medium original auto

I agree, this is a very powerful image, rich in detail and dramatically cropped. It certainly conjures up images of what this cowboy actually looks like and what his life is about.

Good job, Jean.

Hardworking, alright. And, if you know him get him to a skin doctor. Those spots are near melanomas if ever I saw one.
