Robyn -- Haven't had the pleasure of seeing your photos in a while. This is outstanding. Terrific detail and expression. Very dramatic in B&W. So nice of him to pose. And congrats on your new camera. Have fun. #1205366

OMG! There's that remarkable face again! I love this, Robyn! Unlike Bonnie, this reminds me of Royalty ... a kind of "Tudors" look! Awesome composition with excellent lighting and detail! Beautiful expression as usual! Another outstanding portrait! ... and what a wonderful soul he is to sit and pose for you! Enjoy your new camera! :) #8133023
