A steam hauling day on the Dartmoor Railway.... this is the man at the controls.

Bev made a couple of suggestions about my original cropping... thanks it is an improvement!

The original version:

1/800s f/1.4 at 30.0mm iso100 full exif

A wonderful portrait, nicely captured!

He is pleased that you are taking his picture but does not want to be too exhuberant. I like his cap.

Wow, his face has definitely got a "lived in" look to it, and is he laughing or grimacing? I especially like the "washed out" light -- interested to know how you achieve this; is it exposure or an edit?

Superb shot, crop and subject

I love this portrait as well. I wonder what those eyes have seen over the years. He appears very wistful. Vote.
