I couldn't agree more!!! Rik how long does it take you to get a shot like that first one, I mean actual shooting time not photoshop time? The lighting, the color, the eyes...all of it.

Thanks Pete. It doesn't take much time. The light has to be right. (early in the morning or late afternoon. The sun has to be more or less in my back. The camera settings like aperture and shutterspeed is almost an automatism for these portraits. As I look through the finder I want to see the light in his eyes, that is essential, I make the composition and "click".
But please don't think every picture I make is OK. What I'm showing here are my best pictures. I have just as many "bad" pictures.

love the one of Paco in motion !!!!!
Thanks Dave. It is one of my favorite Paco pictures.
So incredible!! Your walls must be covered with your photos. They are truly beautiful.
Thank you. Only one photo and one drawing a GRF member made of a Paco picture. I have to make a Paco album.
