Thats lovely. It looks kind of old fashioned like circa 1940.

That's exactly what I thought Rachel. This is a lovely photo, Carl. He is so intense in his play.

A beautifully composed shot with great lighting. It certainly does have that retro look. TFS.

Default Lighting

Speaking of the lighting..... what was used to light the subject? Was this done is post production? I'm always curious as to how much is done at the time of the shot, as compared to the time in post production.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. 401, window light was used to light the subject. PP was levels, high contrast curve and a vignette. NO flash/strobes were used in the shot.

Carl.
