Description

Family picnic. My cousin's husband just presented himself as an image I couldn't resist. One of my books says, "Shoot Kids and Old People. It Can't miss." Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I haven't photographed a lot of people up close and personal...so, I am wide open to suggestions :-) Anything to improve...Bill

No improvement needed on this one. A Classic. Hope the click of the shutter didn't disturb him Skipper62

Only suggestion I have would be to get a smidge of the table in front of the coffee cup so it gives that long view and not a view with a piece of coffee cup. Other than that, I love the line-up with the sign in the background.

Brilliant, Bill! I'd just have moved the cup,that's all.

My only idea would be to have woken him up and got him to wash his dirty cup. ;) Nah but maybe lose the cup next time. I love the way you included the sign. It really adds another element of interest to the shot. Congrats.

We should all get to repose content as this gentleman. Good camera work, Bill

I don't really shot people very often so I can't say much, this is so not posed that makes it better in my opinion.

Excellent portrayal of a possible Rip van Winkle you've presented here, Bill! He looks so comfy and cozy sitting there, oblivious to the world around him. I like the late in the day sidelighting in this shot. I bet he was a lot easier to photograph than an auto show. BTW, as you can see in my gallery, I don't do people portrayals myself.

Beautiful family picture. He remains me my grandfather. Unfortunately, before he passes away, I wasn’t “in love” with the camera, so I don’t have pictures of him
