What a great character! He looks awesome in B&W, too. I think this is a very well done environmental type portrait - I love the way his hat creates a grid on his face, too. My only nit is the shallow DOF combined with his hairy arms and underlying tattoos make his arms look like they're growing something... :-) Still, very cool shot of a very cool guy - glad you asked him! If you get a chance to run into him again, I'm sure he'd love a copy of this.

Katherine, I thought you said that you didn't know anyone with the name "Tony". Does he carry a "violin case"?

For what it's worth I thought this would make it to the top 20 but what do I know?

All the best to you and yours.

MAX!
