For this week Photofeed #portrait challenge I prepared the portrait of a skateboardist I was watching a while ago, at a local park. There were a lot of others ther - but he was acting outstanding, capturing my sight at once. I tried to focus on his trajectory but it was not easy, as he was a meteor :)
Still, I've walked away with a dozen pics -- and some of them turned out not bad. This one I enjoyed very much, for it was a decent portrait, and also for it was 'a decisive moment' captured (according to Cartie-Bresson). Nice!

Below is same boy in colour, just different capture - which (imo) worked better in color version. Enjoy!
This is how he looks without sunglasses - far less enigmatic and appealing, right?
Now you see how much glasses contribute to his outlook, lol.
The last one is the overall view of the spot. Pretty much crowdy isnt it?
A lot of intresting boys (and girls!) to look at.
That was all for today. Thanks for walking with me - see you next time!
