This looks like an impromptu snapshot rather than a studio portrait.
It would help if the background was less busy or more blurred.

Well, you would have known that I'd like it. A whole lot. Not too dark for me (very little is) ... I can see the internal detail of the dinghies fine. The taut painter suggests tethered balloons, but that's probably just the influence of my Monty Python side. Beautiful raking light.

Your question in the thread was: "Does anyone like this?"
My answer is YES !!
I love the light and the composition.
You very much restricted what I can look at (i.e. no sweeping scenery), which forces me to have a good look at what there IS.
Love it!

good lighting; I would have had him turn his head a little to his right and tilted toward the lower shoulder

Comment by dwterry:
The pose, expression and color make me want to give this a higher rating. But ... there's just so little detail left in the blacks (in their hair). The tops of their heads are just globs of black on my screen... I can't tell if gaussian blur was applied (kinda looks like it) or if the contrast was just boosted too much. Anyway, I'd prefer to see hair detail rather than helmets.

Comment by lfordhere:
I like this photo... The hair is a bit overdone as far as contrast is concerned; there is no detail to it.

Please forgive me for saying that it reminds me of the Griswalds in the National Lampoon movies, which made me laugh hysterically. Thank you.
