I have to say I prefer the "normal" shot!

One has to wtach this in big size....:)

I love the grain and texture of the structure here, in fact i love shooting concrete in black and white (tri-x where possible)

thanks for your feedback,
this is the submarine shelter in saint nazaire, france. it was built by the german nazi in the 2nd world war and it's a very impressive building.

check out the link below, to see how thick the walls are.

Well Vernon I didn't know your work but this shot is absolutely stunning. I like tones and the framing, plus the beauty of those eyes. Skin looks superb too. Perfect. Greetings from Barcelona.

VT - I should have known this would be yours. Another excellent toned portrait!

i'm speechless!
incredible eyes and expression! great work

Thank you for the comments and the feature :-)

What a great image. I can even feel, how cold this drink is. And I think, this has to be black/white, gives it a lot of feeling.

eyes!
awesome light

It seems the residents of brandon projects have developed an obsession with you, mr. trent..

Lighting on this is not the best, for such a good photographer as yourself. Anyway how about a photo of someone else for a change, Vernon....lol.

@psychodudu
what is wrong on the lightning?
it's backlight technique. little bit different as the "standard" :-)

Surely a fantastic self portrait with a wonderful details.... Cheers man..

i like it, but the thumbs are distracting to me.

the background is wery intrsting

Awesome image Vernon. The intense contrast and lighting is great for the subject matter and theme. Terrific composition as well.

Great all around, Vernon. You are amazingly consistent! I expect to see this featured for certain.

Fantastic tones! Well done.

This looks very impressive, the metal colours and grease are great!

Nice. Your tones are always beautiful.

Vernon really does come up with some good photos. Niiice.

This is a great portrait. I find it reveals so much about this manly man's character.

vernon man, you are on a roll. one striking image after another. this is super. your work is inspiring!

Great photo!

what a dramatic sky! fantastic. and i also like the silhouettes of the trees. a great image!

I love how there are three layers to this..
