    Ha! Pretty interesting shot.. 0.5 secs huh! Was the camera hand-held?! Pretty steady. I am really finding this shot interesting. Only thing I am not finding right is the shadow in left bottom corner. & arm of the chair. All in all its a nice moody shot...

    Hi Neil,
    The tattoo looks pretty sharp and very eye-catching. You might want to consider shifting the frame to the right a bit more so that the left elbow would not be cut out and the person would fill up the frame.
    I think you should also try a faster shutter speed in order to catch the expression of the face.
    Cheers,

    Guys, Yes I agree the left hand side is a bit so so but I was just a bit lazy

    The longer timing was deliberate, I didn't want to see the face clearly, for me it is more interesting shot in those way although I can understand others may like to see the features.

    It was handheld but i just rested the butt of the camera on a table and shot without using the viewfinder. Pretty easy with a wide angle lens.

    Thanks for your comments...

    Neil

    Willie or Jiro is fine by me.

    I like the idea. I think the image is strong and has its own unique appeal. Probably, my only small suggestion would be to introduce some white balance correction. Nice work, Neil! Good job!
