one thing i do know he was thinking about was "who is that guy with the camera?" he asked my girlfriends parents this question when i walked in apparently..........an​yways.......

so this is one of my first real candid shots that im very satisfied with (besides the one i posted of my girlfriend recently)
i was shooting a bit during a 50th birthday party on sunday and i found this man (my girlfriends cousins uncle i believe) to be very photogenic.
this is pretty close to straight from the camera.
shot in raw and boosted the contrast a bit in the raw file, then a quick desaturation of a red ribbon in the top left corner. besides that no crop or any other PP.
im sure theres alot you guys and gals can suggest and would change.
i like it alot though.
C+C welcome. im always looking to improve

I wish this was cropped tighter. Other than that this is a great capture.
