Portrait excercise

If at first you don't succeed - cheat. (Basil Brush) Or in this case use Photoshop. Hit L for large - it is better - honestly! :-)

Still experimenting with male portraiture. Slowly improving. Still not quite what I intended but learning new pitfalls and difficulties on the way.

Work took me into Lancaster gate today and I took a quick walk around the Italian Garden which was lovely. The sun was shining and the garden was open, the waterfalls were sparkling in the sunshine. I took a bunch of panoramas - looking at the symmetry.

When I got home I was settling down to process them when Mr E phoned to cadge a lift home from rugby training (worth one blip). So I took the opportunity. He was dog tired and I'm not sure he was focusing on the camera (the TV was behind me).

I feel I'm getting somewhere - even if it's two steps forward and one step back all the time.
