Thats wonderful. Composition, light, everything is just right. He looks one with his instrument.

Excellent. It feels very much like a renaissance portrait.

I really like how the hand and the bow cross the frame to that point of light at the end of the bow.

Thank you Moose22 and Awty! Fortunately, the "model" was very patient with me as I fiddled around on the ground trying to get into position and focus (manual lens). Then again, maybe that's why he is not smiling....hmmm.

I'd call that a masterpiece. What was this 'new to you' lens?

Thank you DavelnZA. The "new to me" lens was a Zeiss Milvus 21mm manual focus lens. I love it. It's creamy yet sharp giving a very nostalgic vibe.

Yes, a perfect choice for this shot. Still, it's just a tool. It took your knowledge and skill to make this shot.
