    Certainly a different perspective than we've been seeing lately. You really caught him at a good moment.

    Great perspective, great use of frame, and great scene. Can't decide whether I like the exposure emphasis on the poster, rather than on the preacher - though I can see you had a tough choice to make.

    Really strong shot of his intensity and fervor. Difficult lighting leads to processing difficulties that maybe need revisiting as his skin tone/facial lighting is not pleasing.

    One of those shots that I wish I could do-over, but can't. I was squatting
    on the ground shooting up into the sky and forgot to think about metering.
    The metering was set to Matrix, and should have been Spot. So, the sign
    determined the lighting even though the focus was on the face.

    That sign acted almost like a reflector bouncing light right into the face.

    The funny thing about the shot was that the sermon was a diatribe against
    me and my kind, the crowd was "Amen, brother"ing, but everyone was
    polite to me by giving me unobstructed room to shoot. Right after the
    shot the man put the sign down and there was no chance for an
    interesting second shot.

    Nope. It was a rant against guys wearing Groucho getups. ;-)
