    Yep, the glasses, the lighting and the smile make the shot.

    I also like the concept here and agree with TT; a tad more light on face/hair might work even better.

    Thanks guys, though I know what you're saying, the reason I took the shot was not to see his face, it was the way the ambient light was hitting him, (shoulders , hair) I couldn't even see his face, just the bright glow of his glasses and the outline of his shoulders and hair. I guess it was a had to be there moment

    Below is more like how I saw it from about thirty feet away.
