Ah, good "olde" english tradition(remember, I am from there originally), it can't be beaten. Great pic Silbo. I love his eyebrows - just like that jolly good chap Nigel Mansell, or the even older Dennis Healey - remember them?!! The effort he is putting in is so clearly evident. A good job well done. Cheers, Neil.

silbo: Thanks for that Neil,i agree with you he was a great character and i think it would be a dull place without them

Lol, I don't know why, but this image evoked memories of the "Carry On" movies from the 60's (more specifically Carry On Dick)! That's in no way a negative thing, his eyes are slightly comical so I took it to be a humorous portrait. I think it's great!

silbo: thanks for that yes your right with these sort of people there chaacter shines so you can only go with the flow, i dont think a seriouse face would suit this guy,
