Proof that not everything I shoot is super dark and moody

[Ted Byrne]

This is so beautifully balanced. The palette, the shapes, the forms, and the emotional clout is equally .... balanced. It's a wonderful feeling, well communicated

Reminds me of portraits of Lev Tolstoi...

I agree with Ted. It is balanced - and yet - that left boot kicking the air - that adds some quiet dynamic to the pose.

So, this is not dark and moody?

I can almost hear him speaking, even though he's taking a moment to reflect...

Thanks for the comments guys. Well I guess its less dark and moody than I usually shoot. Still moody though, don't think I will ever shoot something which isn't moody.

It's always good to have something in your style that differentiate you from other shooters...
