Hi Matt,

Fits your preferred style nicely. It's a good addition to the series, and it's a nice portrait as well.

The title eludes me though, but I'm sure there is a story behind it.

Well done.

Cheers,
Bart

Matt,

This is a gritty fellow you've shared with us with his close lips and I am who I am posture. What does he do and what's your relationship with him?

I'm so fascinated by the window through which your people are shown.

Matt,

it feels heavy and light - the light on the hair just kisses it - the face feels fixed.

this is really well resolved for me and has your mark through it.

cheers

hi guys,

Thanks for the comments.

@Asher and Bart - the subject is somebody that i noticed on the street and i could tell immediately that his face would make a good image and one that would fit well with my style. His name is Ray and he sells copies of the local newspaper - Gloucestershire Echo - thus the image title :)

Hi Matt, a very convincing portrait. The rough finish fits to a rough looking guy just perfectly. It is interesting how intense his gaze seems even if (or because of?) he doesn't seem to be looking at the viewer.

Wow, quite an interesting portrait. Not only does he have an interesting face but his stare is so different because his eyes are not aligned. One eye seems to be looking to the side and slightly down while the other is looking more in an upright position. It really makes one stop and stare as we know something is not quite what we expect. Well done!
