A shot I'm hoping to submit for one of the photography assignments. It's Joke's dad (who recently acquired the title 'father in law') wearing his biker outfit. As with the other closeup I started with the '300' develop preset and tweaked it from there. A bit risky to keep using the same post-processing techniques, but I wanted a somewhat raw feel in this image and these settings seem to work quite well in that respect. Besides, I posted a colorful image not too long ago :)
Wish I had chosen a better reflection in the sunglasses though. As it is now I find it quite dull. But as with each photograph you take: it's another lesson learnt. Even if I throw all the images from a shoot into the trash, I'm always happy if I at least learnt something from it.

This is a fabulous image. I see your point about the reflection in the glasses. It did not bother me. Overall like the image just the way it is. Great close up, nice DOF. I like the details in the features and the pattern of the scarf.

Great composition... and makes me think of Bono's dad (hehe).
Honestly, I love the focus on the sunglasses' reflex.

@M. Isabel: I will have to tell my girlfriend's dad about the Bono's dad remark. I bet he'll love to hear that :) Thanks for commenting!
Super shot of dad.
