I think I like this one better than the first one even though he's not looking at me (or maybe because he's not looking at me) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/tinamanley/090208_865_0402.jpg.html He's 83 years old but he can still knit! Hi Tina, Very nice indeed. The first one of this gentleman you posted was exceptional in everyway possible. However! :-) In this one you've captured more than a wrinkled face old chap in gorgeous coloured clothing. You captured what appears as a "twinkle in the eye of he was a little devil of guy in his youth. The eyes tell it all and look at that smile! A beautiful photograph of a human being. Jeeeesh you can read all kinds of nice imaginary things into this gentleman's face, eyes and smile!! :-) Love it! Someone who looks like this, creates a situation of "wouldn't you like to sit down with him and shoot the breeze learning of his past?" Thanks, made my day. ted
