I am going to buck the trend here and say that I prefer this original. I am a big fan of pastel and coloured pencil art, and this has that sort of appeal to me.

This is very interesting and I had to favourite it.

I just love the blue tones in this... and the focus and lighting is absolutely spot on.

This shot arouses your curiosity. Who knows what this gentleman is pondering?

The art on the walls add something to the picture too...... as well as the black in the bottom left and right hand corners.

This is good art.

Great candid, the dark blur in the left seems out of place.

He's someone's somewhat-hard-to-please father. Big boned, serious-minded, always been on-the-ball. Got your back in a pinch though.

... just daydreaming a bit.

Nice! I like the contrast in expressions. (HAve you tried this in BW? Am wondering if the will meld.)
