A candid from Bantry

This took a lot of courage to take, I'm horribly shy and very embarrassed about taking photos of strangers, so this was a major 'to-do' for me. I think it came out OK. There's much I would change, but I think for a first attempt it could be worse.

Re: A candid from Bantry

I like it very much, very gritty and life like.

Personally I would either clone the light strip at the bottom, crop it or darken that area as I find it competes with that lived in face.

Re: A candid from Bantry

A good candid shot, and the B&W works, you have eye contact, would love to know his thoughts though.

Thanks guys! I will try and re-edit him when I have more time, and I'm going to attempt more of this sort of thing, but courage is not easy plucked up!

Re: A candid from Bantry

Wear some head boppers when you go out. Guaranteed to get eye contact

Nice candid shot Z.
