Interesting composition-- I like how the reflection on the glass adds more interest to the photo. And you've got a great subject, too.

Brilliant rags and I have to agree with the other comments above the reflection takes it from just another portrait to SUPERB!

Yes it wouldn't have looked the same as a 'straight' shot, great thinking!

neat portrait. i really like how the effect of the glass adds to the composition. especially with the bluish light reflecting off spots on the glass and the blue beads in his hair. he looks like a friendly laid-back kind of person.

I love this shot Rags - great composition, colour, light, bokeh, diffracted reflection, and something really appealing about the subject's demeanour. One of my favourites among your many great portraits.
