Challenge: Free Study 2013-12 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Location: Hampden, Baltimore, MD
Date: Dec 21, 2013
Aperture: f5
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/30
Date Uploaded: Dec 30, 2013

 We were visiting the shops along 'The Avenue' in the Hampden section of Baltimore a few days before Christmas. This nice older gentleman and his little Pug in the vintage bookshop were irresistible. I'm not usually one to ask to take people's pictures, but I got up the nerve this time, and I'm quite happy with the result.

Thanks to [user]nam[/user] for helping me chose which photo to use, and pointing out some much needed edits to make it better.

Also, it's my first entry with my new 15-85 lens.

A tad too much sharpening for my taste but love the subject and the "story"

you created a little document worth saving for the next generations to see that books, computers, dogs and old people can peacefully coexist

Not voting. I hope this is doing well for you - I do love the character written on both the dog's and the shopkeeper's faces as well as the jumble that surrounds them. A very nice environment portrait.

What a wonderful portrait! They're quite a lovely duo.

this seems like a snapshot, but it's more being in the exact right place at the exact right time with your camera in your hand and turned on--way to go!

Terrific casual-looking portrait of a man in his personal environment. The tenderness in his relationship with the pug is so evident, and they even resemble each other.
