Skater

Interesting person in Eureka Springs.

What I like about the 2nd shot is the disapproving look of the older gentleman in the background, which was so unfair. The skater was a very polite young man. Don't let the piercing and hair fool you.

Does the second one have anything more going for it other than just an ordinary snapshot?

The first one is OK. It shows the kid's personality. The second like you said looks like a snapshot, and the disapproval you mentioned is really subtle, even hard to see when you mention it (seems like the fellow is looking at you the photographer, not the kid).

Ya that is what i was thinking as well. Whenever i shoot i always think people are going to blow up in my face for taking a picture of them, guess just had too many bad experiences.
