Artist's Comments

While walking, I ran into this man busily washing the outside window of a bar. I asked him for a picture, and he gladly complied. He introduced himself to me as "Tone", then proceeded to share a poem he had written - after which he pulled out a Bible and showed me a passage of encouragement.

Stay cool, Tone.

This guy should be on DA. :)
I see why opted for the blurring, and I might have liked it even more if you had shown his hand with a sponge. I really love this portrait though. I think the sepia combines the warmth of color with the beauty of black and white.

i love the color of this, and the focus too. and i think his glasses are my favorite part.

I like the depth of field/focus being in the center as it draws the right amount of attention to Tone. Great reflection in the sunglasses! I like the touches of various greens all through the image.

Nice portrait.
