Challenge: Portrait with Spectacles (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di for Nikon
Location: Homestead, FL
Date: Jan 5, 2008
Aperture: f/10
ISO: 320
Shutter: 1/80s
Galleries: Portraiture, Photojournalism
Date Uploaded: Jan 8, 2008

This portrait is part of a multimedia piece about people who work to protect the Everglades. Its a photojournalistic piece, so its not a formal portrait. As the subject is being interviewed, you can hear flies buzzing about, so I left the fly on his beard. There was some glare on his glasses, so I asked him to move them downward slightly to remove the glare.

Awesome work. I wonder if Steve has antiglare. I can't figure out how else that shot would have worked.

This is an unusual portrait. I like that the background is less than flawless. I complements Steve's unkempt appearance. So, what is that in his beard?

Well, you can't go wrong with that great name! That black speck on his beard almost looks like a fly.

The face has character. I like that it's off center and simple colors. Background might be better out of focus.

composition and background are great. the lenses make his eyes look bruised but an over-all great photo

Good position in the frame. Nice plain background. He looks a little too red, but perhaps that's his natural colour.

I like the expression and framing a lot. I think a darker background would set the subject apart more.

The background is horrible, and he's got something in his beard...composition isn't bad, detail level is nice as well.
