Thank you for your thoughts, rbsinto. This was by no means a planned portrait. The Viking happenede to walk by, in front of me where I stood ringside to photograph the annual Viking reenactment of a historical sword fight (see the rope-fence in the background?) and I had my 18-140mm on . I just took a chance and fired off a few shots as he walked by. By chance I got 1 hit, although this is heavily cropped.
Best regards,
Walter
Walter, this is a nice informal portrait, that could have been improved by pumping up the ISO enough to allow you to shoot wide open to shallow up the depth of field and eliminate somewhat the distracting background.
Alternately, cropping vertically both in front of, and behind the subject would get rid of the people in the background.
