Warrenby Yo_SpiffComment by bvy: Astounding. The framing is perfect -- being closer or farther away would have been at the cost of some impact. Color would have been gratuitous. Really, it almost feels manufactured. That's not a criticism, but more a statement of disbelief that you could bring together so many details in a portrait -- and there are a LOT of them -- to tell your subject's story: The reflective, slightly crooked glasses, the sloppy shave, the plaid shirt, the unexpected single earring, the unruly wisps of hair, the hat whose textures complement (or do they contrast with?) his weathered skin and whose brim draws a saddle curve of an orbit around his whole face.
But it's that nervous and tight half-grin that's the icing on the cake. For all that this portrait reveals about your subject, he seems to be trying still to hold a little something back. It's in vain, of course, but I'm not sure he knows it. And therein lies the great irony, the rewarding impact, of this wonderful character study. |
