I was about to pass this over, but I couldn't resist that cheery face! Makes me want to smile along with him. ;) Absolutely fabulous capture - a real treasure.
The photographic treatment of this nice gentlemen
makes me want to know more about him. What's his
story. How did he get to acquire this face. But I don't
need to know the facts, because his is a face that demands
storytelling, rather than facts.
its a great photograph charlie .. your processing is excellent .. the subdued overlay and the b&w are great .. sad that he lost his sister .. he still seems to have a smile on his face tho .. he looks like a lovely character . :)
