The first picture here is of my friend Ben. Ben is quiet in nature but funny all the time. He always does what's best for other people and is very nice. I decided to take this picture right after rowing practice. While he doesn't always act like it, Ben really likes rowing and being a part of the team culture. My main triumph in this picture is the quality of the portrait and the touch ups I did. If you look at the original picture, he had acne and looked like he had just finished practice (which he did) and I feel I did a very good job touching up on it. I also feel like the background fully represents part of Ben, with his teammates and boats in the background.
