Few more from Vanuatu:

The fellow is Ernest, who has been running a WWII museum in a small village for over 20 years. Mainly consists of collecting Coke bottles. Claims to have the largest collection of different locations / names on the bottles in the pacific. A great character.

I think perhaps a closer crop on Ernest (currently not cropped at all)

Comments?

I think seeing his museum stuff around him adds something to his character.

I think I would try to straighten him up though.

Nick,

The current crop places him into a context, and I'm not sure that tightening this up would improve on that.

As Doug suggests, perhaps giving the image a slight nudge to straighten it up - look at the shelf in the background as a guide.

Thanks for the feedback, will straighten it up sometime.

Unfortunately I didn't take my SB-800 which I regretted, because a few photos of people could have done with nice fill flash (bright skys).
