Default Man - life happens.
With the rain lately, I have not been walking as much and have spent some time thinking about how I can expand my photography.

Here is an attempt at a little more artistic portrait in B&W.

I also re-uploaded it, it had the wrong color profile (I know it's B&W, but it matters - LOL). It should be a little brighter now.

Very artistic! It looks like an ink pen drawing. I love the silver strands of hair on his head and eyebrows. And the washed background. Really nice positioning too.

Good work. Black and white is great for portraits.
