I was in Cuba two weeks ago and had the chance to shoot amateur boxers practicing one day. This shot seemed ripe for black and white. He looks like a mean dude but actually seemed quite the gentleman. A gentle giant you might say.

If only work wasn't getting in the way, I could process more of my photos.

Great capture Doug. Wonder if it is possible to remove the pole somehow? Looking forward to more.

I wouldn't want to be his punching bag. Does have a very intense stare indeed. Next Muhammad Ali ?

With quite a bit of effort, I probably could. The amount of stuff around made it hard to isolate the subjects in this location, and everything was happening very quickly, so I took what I could get.

One of the reasons for B&W is the distraction of color in this image. For instance, the pads on the ropes were very bright blue and took the eye away from my subject. After I converted it, I realized B&W was going to suit this boxer best no matter what.

Well done Doug, and BW suits perfectly.

Great catch - "The look" should be enough to stop his children in their tracks...hopefully!
