I actually wish I would have been him taking the nap in the park. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, I am putting this one in the contest for Where I live. I think this tells a lot about how sweet life can be down here in Louisiana.
I actually laughed out loud when I saw this photograph. You have an excellent eye and were really in the right place at the right time. You have framed the napster perfectly. I am wondering how you were able to lighten/brighten the subject while pushing the background where it belongs...in the background. The dark greens accentuate the subject flawlessly. 9.5 out of 10. You deserve to win your contest. Are you Rembrandt reincarnated? jk
Gosh I miss Louisiana now!! I love the lazy Southern feel to this photo! I enjoy seeing the beautiful wrought iron on the railings and the feel of the windows even. I want to come visit down there one day soon. It's been such a long time since I've been there. Please post more photos like this ok? This is just awesomely gorgeous. Verena
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.

If I didn't know any better, I would say that is Owd Bob on that bench. LOL. I detect some HDR in this image, but a perfect touch of it. Excellent work, Mike.
