Great capture - I love the composition, bw conversion and hdr!

Thanks guys! When framing this the guy hardly was clearly seen on the screen, too bad the face is not in there. Actually the shot is a exposure bracketing of three shots, first into HDR with Photomatix, then bw conversion and toning. Cheers, Frank

Love the way you've balanced the wide range of tones in this image. With a dark interior to a well lit exterior is difficult at best and you've nailed it. I assume that the face being obscured was not a conscious decision but a luck of the draw when the shot was taken. I agree it would have been nice to show the face. Dale

I love the timeless universality of this, Frank. I like that his face is obscured. Makes him an *everyman*.

Frank - this is super shot! Like the composition. The idea with the frame is great! It's pity that his face is hidden by the grid.
