Highwayman

I would like to share with you this evening one of my favorite portraits. Here is Dikken, the enigmatic leader of Dikken's gang at the Robin Hood Faire, as portrayed by a talented actor named Travis Joyce. In this scene, Dikken learned that Robin Hood's Merry Men planned to smuggle Little John into the castle by posing him as the Pope. I noticed that the position of the trees compressed the space occupied by Dikken, and was attracted to the play of positive and negative space possible in this one. My only regret is that I didn't have my tripod on me; I would have loved to have had a greater depth of field in this shot.

The only edit I made to this was to clone out the fender of a car in the upper right of the photo. Very anachronistic.
