    Nice shot, almost too good to be a holga
    The contrast between the subject and background is great, he really pops out of the scene.

    Agree with jetrim - almost too good to be a Holga shot. Wonderful image. Would probably also work nicely in b/w.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Wonderful portrait, I love the quality of light, and the colors.
    Glad to see you are still shooting your Holga!

    Re: Portrait - Holga

    Thanks all, agree, was very, very suprised to see the sharpness produced by my plastic lens in this case, the afternoon sun was captured almost 1 for 1, there's a long story behind all of this and the photos I will be posting over the next weeks but needless to say am just happy to have a couple of shots that, IMO, worked, allbeit with a bit of plastic and a lever. Thank you again for all of your comments.
