This is our neighbor, Randy, who is being honored next month for his environmental work, namely, for cleaning up the Arkansas River. This isn’t the photo we sent to accompany the feature (that one had the river in the background), but this is an “also-ran” that I just liked. Even though it looks like he has skyscrapers growing out of his head.

Hand held, manual focus, mostly ambient light about 15 minutes before sunset, plus flash card attached to Speedlite for fill light.
