Great head detail Mike. We stopped by La Jolla on Sunday and the place was a complete zoo--I think from some car show on the park area. I may have to go back early in the morning to find a parking spot.

sweet detail; I think the crop is awkward but you had to in order to get the deatil in the heead and eye.
4 down, 2 to go.

Nice one Mike. For my preference though.. I'd like him either higher in the frame to include more bill, or an even tighter portrait.

Mike,

This is a beautiful portrait. In addition to a nice composition, the light and the blue background are wonderful.
