 Taking a walk through Castle Park, I saw this guy taking a break from collecting litter in his little truck, watching the cricket and looking rather content. I managed to pluck up the courage to ask to take his picture, and so here we are!

I found this challenge very difficult to attempt but glad I tried. The shot isn't perfect, but I'm pleased I went out and got it as I was a long way out of my comfort zone. Hoping to do this more and more as I get more confident!

I like the environmental framing. It seems to lack some needed texture though. Also, I'm unsure about the backlighting (you probably didn't have much control over that though).

The perspective seems a little awkward to me, as if it got squished slightly in post processing.
