I really like the shot; it's quite striking. Being the odd person I am, it invokes a rememberance of those old grainy shots of "big foot." I think it's the sense I get that your subject is "on the move," as he looks back over his shoulder. As if you weren't supposed to have seen him. As if nobody else sees him, but he knows you do.

... Told you... I'm odd.

Sime -- I think portraits, particularly ones like this, are orders of magnitude more difficult than most other types of photography. Fabulous job! Your shots inspire me to get out there and try again with people shots rather than the landscapes that wait so patiently for me . . .

Wow - that's all I can say: Just wow. What an amazing picture. There's so much depth in it, not just technically but artistically. An all around awesome shot. I would definitely give him a print of it.
