Of course he is!

This is a terrific portrait Bill!

Great portrait Bill... it's very gothic... i am prety sure that she is a he....peter

Fabulous portrait. great smile. I hope that he does not get a cold. The metal might rust.

How odd. Where did you find this character I wonder?

I think you must have been with Mick at his Gay Parade, Bill?!

Lots of make up to confuse the eye.

I fear that you might never return to colour again Bill. A fine study here.

Superb study Bill. Excellent!

I like the pseudonym black pig .. Mike Newton might be marginally p*ssed orf though. On the other hand he might see at as a compliment and then the two of you could set up a top international photography business called ''Pig and Dog black snaps''.

Aim high my boy.

Oh! btw ... the snap is pretty damn good.

Some competition for Michael, here, Bill, a good portrait. I'll take your word for it on the stilts!

n ur b/w treatment further enhances it

Like the B&W treatment Bill it gives it a real Gothic feeling.

I like the dark eyes: a mysterious air

With her hair styled in ringlets like that, Bill, she could very well harked back to olden times. The nose rings, though, give it away. Great presentation in B&W.

I've tried stilt walking a few weeks ago; decided it's not suited to the over-60s. At this closeness, she looks a bit scary.

Very gothic indeed!
Great portrait Bill.

Excellent portrait Bill, well said about being Gothic.

Nice portrait of a self assured girl, she looks like fun.

Seems to be suffering a bit of sun burn here Bill, but a great portrait.

She doesn't look that tall to me.

I seem to remember seeing a couple of people on stilts at Dudley when we met up there.

You must have got very up close and personal. Were you on stilts too?!

Fine portrait, Bill

Really effective processing, Bill.
