Eric, I think a portrait is more than just a photo depicting what a person looks like. A good portrait tells us something more about who the person IS, and you have done just that here! (ps. This really needs to be entered in some POTD sites...it's wonderful!) ~Nee
Thanks, Nee. I never thought of this as a portrait (rejected exposures that had both the model and the can in sharp focus)... more as an expression of the act of writing graffiti. When the Challenge is over, I'll post the story of the shot.... it's pretty interesting.
Eric, very good idea and well-executed...good composition, lighting, perspective. I like the spary of bright color too. MFC

Very cool image, Eric! Is this the same guy who was painting the front of the train engine? Looks like you found an *interesting* character to shoot a portrait of. Very creative portrayal, too! ~Nee
