You are doing quite, well as can be seen here! I re-read my comment and it did not sound like I had intended... must have been writing early int he morning. I'd be thrilled to know I have a relative this side of the pond!. I had to Google for "Shirt tail relative", but I think I found my answer ;-)
You've used the color red in several strategic places and they carry the viewer's eye completely around the subject's head. This is the way you've put color to work for you. Great job.

Thanks all for your kind words. And who knows Claudio and I might be shirt tail relatives, I love his work and maybe someday will be able to capture the images he does.

Nice portrait, with a strong connection to the theme. The light and shadows make it even more powerful, For everybody wondering about it, I'm not related in any way to Gene, just in case I decide to vote for one of his entries.

Excellent capture . Words cannot convey the depth of the man and his tradition caught in this frame.
