Great shot, MIke. It’s a sunburst of wrinkled skin…

Superb image, this is a different and really good portrait. The bw conversion is excellent too.

Great. Does not really look like a photo, too perfect (and strongly edited I guess?)

Mummy and I just love it…………..well done and for these two wonderful Maori gents (if you reward them with a copy of the image) then it is a perfect capsule of friendship an important image in time for their family and more importantly forever.

Mike, this is one of the most beautiful images you have produced to date on this site. Simply brilliant.

Thanks all. It was hard to process because of the lack of sharpness inherent in the Sigma 50-500m (‘Bigma’). Choosing the right channel to process in with regards to B&W.

Photos of complex human interaction always hold fascination, I was lucky with this one.

It looks like an award winning entry for the news photographer thingoes – you know the awards they give out every year?

Damn Mike, this is beautiful on so many levels.

This is a fantastic shot! I makes me wonder who the two men are, their relationship, etc. The light is perfect – very nice with the B&W. Well done!
