Eric, this made me stop to look - great job! I've been trying to play with B&W myself lately, and yours is something to strive towards...

BTW - Nice Ruger. Looks like the GP-100?

You've done a great job of making the hat a major component AND including a simple, beautiful image of the one you love. Congratulations on a job well done, and capturing something worth remembering.

Pretty model, and a good use of her eyes, but this focuses more on her body instead of the headwear. Its also a little underexposed...

Still, very good attempt!

Yikes!

I can only imagine the humilitation and embarrassment - for both you AND the subject. Then again, maybe his parents simply laughed it off. Besides, who knows the funny stories that may develop over the years; "Remember the time that crazy photographer took pictures of..."

(In no way is this meant to belittle the emotions of the photographer responsible for this image, or the young subject - only that it may not be as bad as first considered...)
