Subject: [Leica] PWIFLI: Whatchadoin'?

This picture is from my recent escape to southern California.  I'd been in 
bright sunshine, with my camera set appropriately.  I sat down in some very 
dark shade to rest, when suddenly, I had company.  I guessed exposure, 
opened my lens wide, slowed my shutter as much as I dared, focused and took 
two on-the-fly portraits.  This is the better of the two.

My subject was rather dark-complexioned, so I could have used a stop more 
exposure.  But I think I captured his personality.  Sorry about the 
posterization in the background---it's a combination of scanning artifact 
that was made worse by my curve adjustments and worse yet by JPEG compression.
