  First portrait I’ve taken in donkey’s years. Real quick snap as he stuck his head through me window looking for a bin tag. Heavily back-lit given the situation, and originally in colour, but a few tweeks in PS changed that.

  I’m well used to him at this stage, Sodafarl, he works on the farm hereabouts.
  I’m fairly sure it’s a smile, Lorraine, but given his first name is ‘mad’ you can never be 100% sure though.

  The colour version is almost perfect to me.
  I would retouch the white spot on the left side of the beard.
