I LOVE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HIS SKIN AND THE BACKGROUND. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE LIGHTING CONDITIONS WERE. DID YOU USE A FLASH?

Elaina,
Thanks. I used ambient light for this shot. The sun was setting behind me and I took the meter reading from Ray's face. The sun was kind of like a natural fill flash.

Hi, im a new commer and I just read in a photography book that elements of a photograph may strike to one person while for another it may mean a little. but some has a quality that everyone recognize and appreciate. yours has that quality. Very good composition. #11512
