I don’t often make portraits, I’m much too shy to ask people if they’ll allow me to, and it takes a real effort to overcome this and ask if I can. Even then, I often rush in my nervousness and end up with a sub-par result (either missing focus, or not watching the edges for distractions usually), so I’m quite pleased how this one turned out. I spent a while talking to the man (whose name I didn’t ask because of my socially inept brain!) before I took the shot.

Galadriel, who stands proudly conducting the music, was missing her baton on this occasion. Perhaps one of those monkeys stole it? 🙂
