This was a difficult lighting situation as the man's complexion is very dark and his turban and the wall are very bright. To expose for one means over or under exposure for the other. Try and see if photoshop can tone down the brightness a little although if it is completely blown out there is little you can do. If your camera allows try shooting in RAW as it affords you a little mote latitude.

Another great one from Eritea Rolando. Composition is original and, in my opinion, perfect. I like how the man is faced in the direction of walking out of the photo but has his head turned back into the photo. The oversaturated colors and the man glancing downward only add to the sense of interest of the photo.

I can see why this photo wouldn't be a popular one. It's not good in the "technical" sense referring to sharpness and color. In my opinion though, this is more of an artistic street type shot. To me the cut off beard gives a sense of movement to the photo, as the does the slight blur. The points of really bright light really contrast well with the man's face and both combine and equal the photo out a bit. It's not a studio shot, it's a real life shot. I like it. It's a good photo.

Nice work.

hi rolando,

you have been to really interesting places! i like this picture for the scruffy quality and the colors and the beautiful face of the priest (if he is a priest, but he looks like one).

The frame is excellent here, and the background perfect to appreciate tge guy. The pov is OK too and you get a good light. Everything's OK except the fact you cut the low part of the barb !!
