Nice. I like the environmental portrait. Not so hot on the pose, but it's good. Wish the POS wasn't where it is. Very well shot!

you, sir, is a master of the art of taking photos of strangers.

Wow, very well done. Any flash used? Or is this just natural light? And what setup did you use (body and lens) ?

Thanks

It's natural light, and I used a D700 + 50mm 1.8G

Great environmental portrait. The light in that spot is fantastic.

I agree, excellent use of natural light. I wouldn't have guessed it was natural.

POS usually stands for Piece of @@@+ in modern American written English...as a barkeep and owner, I bet he'd take offense at that!!! lol Nice picture!

Yeah great lighting, I like it but if you are going to have someone put their face on their hands make sure they know not to put any pressure what so ever. It might be slight but it's a good way to change the appearance of your face. If I were a bar owner I'd prefer shots of the bar not me for marketing purposes, that'd be worth a free meal for sure.

Cheers Shooter, but just to be clear, I didn't pose him, this is the bartenders natural pose, he does this when he's feeling relaxed/interested about something. I merely said freeze and then "Click".
The fact that this pose is actually natural, is the reason I like it.

I'll remember to try taking a shot at the owner the next time I enter a restaurant or bar. Who knows, I also might get to have my meals and drinks free.

Nicely lit bar, I must say. In my city, most bars would be dimly lit. Ambiance, they would say.
