This was one of the ones I really liked. I know your title says it, but I never would have guessed this was a carnival ride operator. Did he pose for you or did you capture him in a moment? I love the clarity and detail on his face. Beautiful lighting and great DOF. An excellent picture all around.

I'll bet he's a storyteller too! :-) Nice capture. Good use of shallow DOF and B/W to minimize any background distractions.

Looks way oversharpened. Great subject though. I like the BW tones.

Great shot. Love the expression and close crop. Seems slightly oversharpened. Black and white works well.

Great subject, lighting. I think a more aggressive crop would have made this pop. 8

Looks a little over-sharpened. Good B&W conversion but the once (presumably) brightly coloured light behind him still distracts.

Sorry...
