    Thats a great shot leroys.. my heart turns over for him, his eyes have a hopeless look.. I hope I'm wrong. I have a tendency to adopt and want to take care of all homeless or abandoned people.. The mealsite must be a tough place to be at times...
    Thanks for sharing. iloveyou.gif

    Great powerful portrait and an especially good B&W conversion.

    All I can say is WOW. This picture is so much more than just a picture. I love the look he has in his eyes, and how this photograph tells a story. Sounds weird but I love his wrinkles as well. This photo is amazing! Jamie

    Agreed. And just in case you didn't already know...Rutt's a really tough customer when it comes to B&W. He would almost always prefer color. It's a high compliment from him.
