Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM
Location: Venice, CA
Date: Sep 6, 2008
Galleries: Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

 This is totally not my best photo, but it's one of the few where the original is easily accessible- so it was an easy choice to pick it.

It's a headshot for a friend of mine for his website.

There were a couple photos I really love, but no longer have the original. I couldn't find the originals for a lot of stuff. I've been really bad about organizing. So I just gave up and went with this since it was from my last shoot.

Very nice!

Good that the eyes are almost in focus (it looks like the brim of the hat is the most in focus). 6

Looks like quite a character indeed.
 03/17/2009 06:32:56 AM
Interesting portrait, the eyes look great, interesting, and pop!
 03/16/2009 10:43:26 PM
Good shot. Nice color and detail. The eyes are nice but the 2 colors makes it not look as genuine. Nice lighting as well.
 03/16/2009 01:08:31 PM
looks like a fun person...great focus, excellent balance of colors and tones
 03/16/2009 07:09:46 AM

Good portrait. You have a good choice of DOF, and the lighting works well.
 03/15/2009 06:54:58 PM
Well shot. Like the background too.
 03/15/2009 06:47:52 PM
nice portrait
 03/15/2009 04:51:19 PM
Nice happy portrait.
 03/15/2009 06:07:21 AM
A very nice portrait, I would crop a bit off the left.
 03/14/2009 07:11:34 PM
nice profile, like the blurred background
 03/14/2009 05:29:58 PM
nice natural potrait , well captured, 7
 03/14/2009 04:54:00 PM
OK. DOF is low.
 03/14/2009 06:03:27 AM
Wonderful smile and eyes!
 03/14/2009 05:24:45 AM
And captured well, good effort getting the eyes bright under the hat peak
 03/14/2009 05:14:47 AM
Great face and nice capture. 7
 03/14/2009 02:39:58 AM
Title fits very well with the photo. Wonderful portrait and nice colored.
 03/13/2009 07:53:13 PM
Good portrait
 03/13/2009 03:47:07 PM
he looks like a character, alright.
 03/13/2009 09:54:38 AM
this is fun! his expression and hat make it a great portrait! 8
 03/13/2009 08:04:19 AM
Good DOF, good lighting, image is sharp and detailed. A great portrait.
 03/13/2009 07:40:15 AM
excellent clarity
 03/13/2009 06:54:24 AM
not quite a centered image, not a close crop, one or the other would have been better IMO
 03/13/2009 05:36:37 AM
cool looking hat
 03/13/2009 03:32:01 AM
Don't worry, Be happy!
 03/12/2009 11:15:58 PM
Great portrait. The composition is very good and grabs our attention.
 03/12/2009 02:34:39 PM
a cool cat in a hat....
 03/12/2009 11:13:47 AM
Great smile!! Very nice portrait!
 03/12/2009 07:14:21 AM
What a smile. Definitely lots of character.
 03/12/2009 05:59:23 AM
He looks like a happy guy. haha. Good detail.
 03/12/2009 02:57:01 AM
He sure is, by the looks of it :) Great sharpness and bokeh, but the crop at the top seems a tad too severe.
 03/11/2009 07:53:16 PM
simple, yet very well done.
 03/11/2009 07:10:16 PM
This mug screems "character!" Fun.
 03/11/2009 06:18:34 PM
The Cat in the Hat?
 03/11/2009 05:47:29 PM
Nice detail and exposure.
 03/11/2009 05:16:01 PM
Sweet smile, great eyes. I'd prefer the hat not be so far down on his face. The background has a nice bokeh, but the crop is neither centered nor off-center enough for thirds.
 03/11/2009 02:25:00 PM
Very happy look.
 03/11/2009 01:24:24 PM
nice portrait
 03/11/2009 01:20:10 PM
Between the hat and the smile I think you've captured his personality wonderfully. He looks like someone fun to know. (not to mention those gorgeously coloured eyes!)
 03/11/2009 12:15:50 PM
I think you got this guys personality in a single capture :)
 03/11/2009 10:55:40 AM
St Patrick's day is coming up soon,take him out and party! Good shot
 03/11/2009 05:59:58 AM
Nice portrait, he's got amazing eyes.
 03/10/2009 10:37:45 PM
nice shot
 03/10/2009 09:44:21 PM
Nice, love the bokeh.
