David Miliband, Foreign Secretary

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 10 May 2010 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

David Miliband MP, still Britain's Foreign Secretary until we have decided who will form our next government after our inconclusive general election last Thursday.
I pictured David making his short acceptance speech at about 3:30 am Friday morning after winning the race to be South Shields MP in the new Parliament.

He looks very insecure to me (don't know if he is, I don't know a lot from foreign politics) but the picture is great, love the pixellating.

Bonvilston from Cardiff, United Kingdom

Shame - another term in office and we'd be able to see that 'tache properly. ;-)

Good portrait but cannot say I like the subject!!

Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom

offer this to Sky right this minute and given Gordy's announcement, Sky would probably buy it/use it...it is so topical and so very good!

Great portrait. I like the post treatment

Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States

I wouldn't begin to offer thoughts on the politics that are occurring over your way right now.....but do like the image, and what you've done with it!!!

Amanda from Jersey City, United States

I like the processing of this image. He seems a bit nervous--even talking out of the side of his mouth--an interesting facial expression for your image.

Sugata from Newark, United States

Nice candid portrait!

Scott F. Schilling from San Martin, United States

Very nice image and I like your processing work on this!

Julie from Easton, United States

I don't understand how things work over there but the portrait is quite interesting! Nice work on it, he looks either really nervous or scared though.

MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States

He looks less than thrilled. Guess he's going to have to learn to live on an MP's salary rather than that of a minister. Join the rest of us in adjusting his life style.

Cory from Phoenix, United States

NIce portrait. Good luck on figuring out the government. Should be interesting to see what type of coalition develops to fill the vaccum.

Chris from Nantes, France

Doesn't seem at ease, does he? Good shot.
