Look like he got a hard day, love the expression.
AL28-Jan-2007 15:02
Strongly expressed. We could easily feel his weariness through his eyes, his face, his shoulders, ... As if the red scarf was his only hope left hanging for the day... Voted.

Mask of fatigue. Looks like I'm staring into a mirror today.
Going to have a sit down and a nice cup of tea.
Guest 28-Jan-2007 12:22
Gravity weighting on the mind and the body. Despite the sadness of the expression, the image is graphically pleasing, with this touch of red in the overall darkness. Voted.
Guest 28-Jan-2007 11:27
Can't remember posing for this one,Ray, wish I had shaved first!!
Guest 28-Jan-2007 09:30

hard day with a hard life attached. great portrait ray
Gayle P. Clement28-Jan-2007 00:24
Excellent portrait, Ray. He has a face with so many stories.
Stu28-Jan-2007 00:02
There's a long story in that face. I'm drawn to his eyes more than anything else; they are full of sadness.
Jen Bixler27-Jan-2007 23:29
Looks like he has lived a thousand different lives.
Well caught, Ray.
suse27-Jan-2007 23:10
Such a fab shot, Ray. Superb!

That dash of red round his neck really makes the colour shot, against the darker tones. My only 'negative' is that maybe this is the kind of portrait you get these days from living in England. ;))
Guest 27-Jan-2007 22:52
wrinkles, bristles, scars...everything tells a story. i can instantly feel his emotion...
nordic27-Jan-2007 22:50
excellent shot Ray, what a character!
laine8227-Jan-2007 22:29

Sheila27-Jan-2007 22:21
Wonderful candid! Face full of character and his red scarf just pops. You must have been fairly close!
Guest 27-Jan-2007 21:18

Faye White27-Jan-2007 20:15
agree with don, hard to know what in his life has brought this face to your lens... great capture, Ray
LM Gildersleeve27-Jan-2007 20:11

What a shot !!
Fantastico !!

JSWaters PM reply | hide | delete 27-Jan-2007 17:19
Everything about him screams exhaustion. His whole body sags under the weight of it all. And yet, those red rimmed eyes stare straight ahead - he will make it . . . . he will.
