[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was walking along San Francisco street is Havana and all of a sudden it started raining like crazy. I ran for cover in an open shop on the street corner. This man also ran for cover. We were standing there for quite a while waiting for the rain to stop. It's not everyday that I see a man dressed with a red shirt and matching hat so I pointed my camera at him and asked if I could take a photo. He nodded yes and this is the result. I never saw him again.

Todd,
Looks like a tough guy - I guess you have to be tough if you're going to walk around wearing a shiny little girls hat!

Nice portrait.

Hello Todd,

Very beautiful portrait. Great clearness, the details of the face are emphasized perfectly.
Good framing and contrast of the colors, well considering, repeat of colour of the hat with the tee-shirt. I like much, that I say? I do not like I love.
Cheer!

Hi, Todd,

Hello Todd
Sorry for the delay to answer your kind words; I've been away for a few days.
I see a STRONG portrait of an experienced man that you rendered with much art over the dark unobtrusive backdrop.
Nikon sharpness is quite evident and the soft light renders pleasing contrasts on his face, shaded areas included.
I envey so much that luck of yours under the rain!
Take care, my friend.
Robert

Amazing portrait, congratullations.
