interesting but why do you assume “him” I thought the figure was ambiguous and the figure is posed its not a candid capture.
And i was using my new but cheap calmet tripod that you can fold the legs out and get very low to the ground with (also traps my fingers something rotten…)
Interesting I looked at it and thought of loneliness, looking at someone who is lonely that you can’t or don’t reach out to. I find it more sad than spooky.
Really like the picture and love the way the dark figure contrasts against the bright light and the warm foreground.
