Thanks all for your comments, glad you like the shot. It was one of those high pressure situations with the wife tutting at me to hurry up. Maybe I'll print it out and give it to her as a present

Yes, and he can often come across as quite wooden
A good strong portrait, you've got the owl staring you down!

He was, yeah, probably because I asked him to sign a model release form.

Agreed, background suits and shows the subject off nicely without allowing the eye to wander
