Description My parents are doing some landscaping and the guy they have laying brick and stone is one cool dude. I've loved sitting and listening to him tell stories and watch as he deftly works his craft. I couldn't resist pulling out the camera and snapping some candid shots while he worked. He had so much character I only hope I was able to capture some of it.

Awesome shot. I think you did a great job capturing his personality. Great title. I really like the b & w. I really glad you choose the candid shot. Great job.

Not in the traditional way. It is only one exposure but I used a topaz plugin to simulate the HDR look

Thank you very much! I knew I had to take that guys photo the moment I saw him. Kind of a hard capture since he was working and I had to wait for the right moment as opposed to having him pose and set up lighting like I would have liked

it is a great shot! maybe it would not be that good, if you've let him pose...
