this is another stand-out portrait Erin .. has the same feeling as 'not all who wander are lost' ..
its the sort of image that captures your attention immediately .. then you look at the details .. well i do anyway .. ;)
absolutely loving your depth of field .. thats magic .. the man and the dog .. there's a story there .
congrats on 4th .. i'm assuming the guy in the pic would love a copy ... it really is very special . :)

i kinda agree Jane .. unless it was a mistaken 10 .. which makes much more sense with a portrait like this .. :)

so pleased this did so well for you even with those crazy low votes ..
this is a magic portrait that speaks of youth and something indefinable ..
like i said in voting he's a beautiful young man ..
many congrats on the blue and a stunning portrait and getting on your profile page ..
i gave you an 8 .. this was my second fav .. altho a close second to Alex's 'say my name' .. i think because of his lighting .. and the intensity .. :)

btw .. you are an amazing photographer .. and your portraits are just gorgeous .. check out erin's website

surprised you got no comments on this .. especially as you came fourth ..
so i'll remedy that right now .. !! ..
firstly its a great image for the challenge .. i can just imagine these instruments being played .. by a father and son .. lol ..
second .. interested in your mention of dragonflies in the comments .. ;)
thirdly .. i thought you were on a cruise .. were these just conveniently available for you to photograph .. :)
