As usual, the tones are terrific. My favorite is that flash of chrome amidst the darker tones.

@gbe thx! from the hip and improperly exposed, but i liked the line and expression. this guy was a successful shop keeper who gave it all up for life as a busker.

@GJC thx! the dobro body was a light aqua that subtly contrast the chrome.

@2¢ i'm certain people from all over the world will now call them now : ]

@BdB thx! You touch on the point—"honesty"—that has preoccupied my thoughts in regards to processing for the past several months. My goal is interpreting the subject correctly in the camera, then presenting a minimally processed snapshot. I have become too reliant on my post processing skills, and I need to correct that by staying true to my photographic voice. This one was presented warts and all.
