Description After taking the first photo of the old man of Loeriesfontein, he started slowly to come out of the doorway. I went up to him and said hi and asked him if i can take another photo of him. His whole face contorted into a huge toothless smile. And he nodded. I took the shot. He slowly walked on.

hope you enjoy it.

hmm, I can't say whether I'd like to have that door vertically adjusted or if it's better this way ... I really can't decide ...

BWB In reply to Pixla [2006-06-27 12:04:08 +0000 UTC]

yeah i know. . . was pondering that myself before submitting. . . my rationale was that it ads to the "realness" of the pic, by making it less "formal",but whether thats a valid argument or not im not sure. . .

myfriend-mike [2006-06-21 01:51:09 +0000 UTC]

Wow, great light here. If I were you I'd bump the contrast a bit, just to make his wrinkles pop out some more, or maybe black and white. Great subject too. I like the single white hair coming out of his left nostril.
Great shot here, man. Plusfave.

teehee that is so cute and I am picturing this cute little guy all decked out for church raising his little paws to jesus meowing praise songs Your comment brought to mind when my kids were little all the new kitties we got they had to tell them about Jesus and then after they accepted Him they baptised them, all those beloved kitties except my two oldest are now in kittie heaven...
