Thanks MagicMark, I was trying to find some photo's in my collection of men with beards and didn't have any, all our friends don't have beards then I remebered I had a photo of Dakota in his school play.

for me, more contrast would make it pop.
Cute photo, it just doesn't grab your attention, the grays are all too close in tone.

it is what it is a friendly snap for the albim , and fo the memories . we could go on critiquing every picture picture we see that way , but there is a time and place for that and this is not one of them . go to the photo contest and pick five which you think will be the five top ones . pick another which you think will get no points . I'm supprised that some get no points , that means that the person who put them there does not vote for them . maybe the putter is not allowed to vote , or there would no total losers ?

Yes that would have been good, didn't even think about that.

Thanks bkyser, I am still learning how to do black and whites, I just converted this over from a color photo in Picasa, think I used the filtered black and white. But yes more contrast would have been better. Thanks.

Thank for the comment Bram boy, I usually try and enter all the photo contests, but this time I did not have anyone with a beard or mustache to photograph and remembered I had this one. I am actually surprised it got any votes but it did. I did notice some people added flowers and goats which I guess went along with the title. But this shot could have been better. Thank you

Thanks, I am not sure what a Youseff Karsh is. Will have to look it up.

if your younger than 50 yo may not have seen his photos . but there is a lot of books put out . he is one of the greatest portrate photographers who ever lived . there was a saying among the Holleywood actors . ( if you haven't been Karshed yet you haven't made it ) as he has done all the famous ones ,
also presidents . kennady, Isenhour, Nixon , singers , conductors , band leaders , church hill , Fidel acastro , krusheve , the queen , the list goes on ,
Eric Clapton , Mikjagger, beetles . many more . I'm supprised you have never heard of him

I just looked up a website called "The Greatest Portraits ever taken by Yousef Karshed" what amazing talent this man had, I really like the one he took of Ernest Hemmingway. Wow I need to look at more of his work and maybe add one of my books to my growing photography library. I am surprised I have never heard of him myself, thanks for telling me about Mr Karshed.
