This is an unusual photo for me in at least two respects. I don't do people very often and I rarely manipulate images more than a contrast tweak and sharpening. He was a shy man and was uncomfortable when I took his photograph so out of respect I thought I should protect his identity and try and make it into a universal portrait. It's a stretch for me in any case and I suppose that is always a good thing to do from time-to-time?
