Bit of an unconventional portrait this one, but I like to think it still has an appeal.

Nicely composed, bokeh is excellent too.

I'd have to agree with dunerunner as well! I also like the composition and the abstract nature of the shapes.

Thanks, just saw something different at the time and went for it, luckily in this case I thinks it works.

Great shots everyone! It's awesome to see how this thread is still alive. I haven't used my camera much at all (no portraits either) in the last year and a half...it's so depressing! Hopefully spring and summer...hopefully!

I don't normally do portraits but this probably counts as one.
