This is my friend Sam again, i know i could have done better on the quality aspect of it. I love the idea that i have, i just wish i had worked the shadows away and used a tripod for better clarity
This photo strikes me as one of those "spur of the moment" shots. Not much thought given to any aspect and the quality of the photo reflects that.
But, Sam does have a nice smile!
I agree with the above statement about being a "spur of the moment" type shot. But sometimes really good photos come from the those "moments". Not specifically to my taste but definitely a sincere realism about it and most definitely a great smile.
I agree with jaybeve and usamusrl that this seems to be rather "spur of the moment" in character and with jaybeve that the quality reflects this. I do think there's something interesting here in the contrast between the modern clothing and the aged look of the picture. Perhaps it would be fruitful to explore that contrast in other ways.
