This is a really great shot. I love good black and white shots; they all seem to tell a story. A different story to each viewer. That being said. Either he has a nice song in his head, or he has one mean (H-Nod) going on. LOL, I'm just kidding. It's a really great shot. No kidding! Congrats on the Featured. You earned it. For real!

Nikon D 300, 18-70 ,50 1.4, once in a while an old hasselblad 500c with two 120 back one for color and the other for black and white.Feedback
The wireless remote is awesome for this type of selfies and patience to get the light right to get this one shot I took a lot then smoked a really nasty cheap cigar to get the smoke the way I saw it in my head.
