Actually when I see Audry again tomorrow I plan on asking him if I could take his picture again, but this time under the shade of a nearby tree. I knew when I posted it that I would get comments on the bright sun. I still liked it though and wanted to post it. Maybe tomorrow I will have new ones of him. Thanks for all comments, they are all welcome, good or bad. dan

Dawna: Don't meant to be rude, (just tired at the moment, really so I sound kind of rude) but I could care less if there is a white spot on the guys face. Maybe photographers don't strive for it, but it is what happened in this photo and I frankly don't see that it ruins it that much. This photo is real for once. I know Dan can handle criticism and I know he doesn't mind criticism -- I simply expressed an opinion.

Dan - this would fit the character project very well. I think shooting this in some light shade would have made a better exposure possible, but you may not have had that option. The harsh sun on the face takes away from the quality of the image to me. If I have to shoot people in the direct sunlight, I get them to turn their back to it, and use a little fillflash.
Lisa: the overexposed areas are the bright white areas on the face, and is not what most people strive for in their work. Dan is a good photographer and I am sure does not mind hearing suggestions or comments such as this.

Thank you for all your comments. The man in the picture, Audry was a very nice guy. I asked him if I could take his picture and he posed a few different ways for me. He seems to be a very intelligent man. He aksed me to bring him a print tomorrow.

I don't think it looks over exposed, actually. I like the photo and I like the subject. What an interesting character to shoot. I like the way his head is tilted as if almost in a skeptical manner. I also like the brightness of the photo the way it is taken in the sun. It isn't as if it makes homelessness a good thing, but it doesn't make it as dark and scary as other photos do. It puts a face on the issue, not a feeling of foreboding.

It looks a little overexposed as the highlights are blocked up. Try levels in Photoshop and use the middle slider to change the midtones. Great subject.

Nice and sharp. The face is washed out a bit but nothing that can't be dodged down some. aj
