I shot my father

[binga63]

And I was happy with how it turned out

Why's he holding his side? Was he injured in the process? (Since you admit to have shot him... )
That's a funny colour drink he's holding.

That's a funny colour drink he's holding.

He had prostate cancer and had to have his prostate and bladder removed, he went through hell and back during the process, in and out of critical care for a month, he is now ok but as a consquence of the surgery he holds the side where his bag located subconsciously, he doesn't even realise that he is doing it unless you point it out to him...The drink is lime cordial as mom wouldn't let him open a bottle of wine...

It's ok, I was making a bit of fun of the title you chose for this thread. It sounds a tad "dangerous" the way you put it. ;-)
I'm sorry your dad had to go through all that he had to go through!!!
I certainly did NOT want to make fun of HIM in any manner!

But you didn't shoot the deputy!

why did not you ask him to take his hand before you click?
Nice shot; convey TPF's regards to him

I don't know... I think his arm folded across himself, adds a casual, candid, touch. I like it. Besides, there's a story behind it.

I think it would look even better in B&W it has a little too much color for me but I like the pose and the arm thing is fine

Good call Mully. I just put it through B&W and it does look great. It takes on an ink drawing look.

 

[binga63]

Ok then how about the less saturated version..?

 

[Rick58]

Much better then the first attempt. I also like the B&W. Not because it's better. It's just different
