JamesC from portland, United StatesSimply perfect.

Something about an atmospheric snapshot that rivals no other. Bill Jennings from Bay Area Northern Calif, United StatesA real treasure. Well done. The tones and textures make the photo. 7 May 2009 8:06am Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, SpainGood portrait, I like specially this joyful expression. Very nice. 7 May 2009 9:28am Scene by Sharon Photography from Kingston, Ontario, Canadawonderful portrait - he looks like such a kind man 7 May 2009 10:21am xavier cardell from menorca-barcelona, SpainGood portrait and good B&W. Could something be done about the black area underneath his nose? It's a shame (on my opinion) that the lower part of the nose is not well defined 7 May 2009 11:42am @xavier cardell: Good comment! Yes, one quick stroke of the Adjustment brush in Lightroom to reveal the the backside of the nostril. Re-posted. xavier cardell from menorca-barcelona, SpainOh, yes! That's what I ment. thanks :D 7 May 2009 1:47pm @xavier cardell: Thanks! Ronnie 2¢ from London, United KingdomAdmire the natural feel to this portrait : I can imagine he sees himself just like he is seen here. 7 May 2009 1:49pm john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United StatesTerrific portrait. Monochrome is perfect. 7 May 2009 2:27pm jeff (aka dogilicious) from Millerstown, PA, United StatesHa! Great portrait and definitely a keepsake. 7 May 2009 7:19pm Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United StatesCharacter is an excellent word for this portrait. The image really lets that through. 7 May 2009 9:14pm Kim Huffman from Atlanta, United StatesJerry, your portrait of my father brings out more emotion in me than actually being with him in person and talking to him..in a strange way. You captured his life in a single, fleeting moment. Thank you. 8 May 2009 2:11am ordinaryimages from Kentucky Bluegrass, United StatesNote: Sometimes you never know who is reading your page...the above from the son of the subject. The small pleasures of photography...and a willing subject. 8 May 2009 2:42am sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United StatesHe has such a nice face. I like that you processed in greyscale. An exceptional portrait. 8 May 2009 4:16am Vicki from Atlanta, United StatesThis is my uncle, my mother's brother. Their father, my grandfather, seems to be alive again in this photo. I also see my grandmother's eyes and brow. Would you consider capturing my aunt on film as well? She's the very essence of strength and femininity, resolve and resilience. 8 May 2009 6:14pm @Vicki: Will do, I might have to use a wider lense to get all those attributes in : ] The essence of Mrs Edith is more elusive...it may take a while. shallowregret from Kongsberg, Norwaybeautiful bw portrait, and his sons commentary makes it even better 12 May 2009 9:03pm |
