If he yelled, "Jump!" I would yell, "How high!" Nice photo.

Is he related to Bella Lugosi
Dalek - not that we know of, unless Bella was 100% Italian.

Looks like he might be saying "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse" 
Stash - I always thought he looked like someone who walked right off a Godfather set.

Nice shot Bill. Nice play on the hand. It looks even bigger in the photo.... Well done.....
Thanks Frank - glad you liked it. The perspective does make his hand look bigger, but not really much more than in real life. He had the biggest hands I've ever seen.

Thanks for getting back with the information I requested pertaining to your Father-in-Law portrait. Just goes to show what the salesman at Schiller's told me last week..."People talk about MP this and MP that, the photo you're looking at was with a 6mp camera."(It was a picture of a University brick building that was as sharp, crisp and in focus as your photo)
Sure thing LITTLEBIT. I have my old digital files from the D70, D200, and D300, and it amazes me how well those files hold up. With the D70 at only 6MP, those pixels were collecting a lot of light.

Godfather for sure.
Daniel - kind of like he walked out of the movie. I'm thinking Godfather 2 with the early DeNiro scenes.
