Looks like a guy in a garage. As such, it's a nice environmental portrait. I find his right hand disturbing (left as we look at the picture). It's floating in air as if cut off from his arm. Need more seperation of his arm from the background. More shadow details would also be helpful in figuring out this guy is a mechanic rather than just some guy standing in a dimly lit garage. >This weeks alternate is a study in geometric shapes.

Right now, it's a park bench with a bunch of repetition. Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
