G'day all,

I've been trying to improve my candid portrait skills, so why not post one up and be shot to pieces

This one is of my father a few days ago. Was shot with a 135 F2 @ F3.5.

But would have cropped away the food :-)

I like it a lot. You really seem to caught your father's personality and character with this great smile and bright eyes! My only nit would be to shoot wider to give more context.

lol, two conflicting views. I say, keep the cookie! (In the shot that is). Good shot, lots of personality.

I had to scroll way over to see it but would agree that unless your dad really, really likes the cookies than it isn't integral to the shot. You can bring him more into the rule of thirds and with him looking to camera left that isn't really dead space so much as where his eyes direct the viewer.

It's a good candid moment.
