Hola Yiannis,

me gusta el retrato, el ángulo es diferente para este tipo de imagenes y me parece buena idea siguiendo la pared y con la inclusión de la moto. La única pega es la luz, la parte de sombra sale un poco oscura para mi gusto, por lo demás me parece una buena composición,

Saludos,

Sergio

Hola Yiannis,
Me gusta la forma que tienes de encuadrar las fotos, nada convencional. Buen contraste de luz ( a pesar de tener la piel muy oscura el Bereber...)La presencia de la bicicleta me choca bastante, tiene su punto "exótico".

Saludos,
Juan

Hello Yiannis,

I find your picture very well taken, alone a little bit to dark in his face.
I've tried to make a WS, I hope that you appreciate.
Lovely composition, nice presentation of colors.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hola
Magníficamente presentados en una fotografía en un bereber túnica azul. Claro que es el día caliente, caliente, por lo que no es de extrañar que él está descansando en la sombra. Maravillosos colores y la nitidez muy buena.

Γεια σου Γιάννη,
Πολύ όμορφο το πορτραίτο του Μαροκινού με την παραδοσιακή ενδυμασία, ωραία χρώματα και φωτισμός.
Καλή σου μέρα, Βασίλης.

yiannis

his dark face is almost lost in the shadows, what did a curious visual effect how if he was almost without face. bonitos colores y un curioso encuadre inclinado.

saludos

I love the point of view and the setting of this photo, but if you call it a portrait, I want to see his face. You're dealing with very difficult light conditions here. The background light has caused your foreground shadow to be way too dark. One way I've found to deal with this problem is to eliminate those extremes, but turning more toward the wall and the bicycle. Then, you're light will work better. Bet of luck to you. Judy

Hello Yiannis. An interesting photo of a Berber. The composition is excellent. I agree with John (jhm) that the face is a little too dark. However, he has made his face in his workshop too light. I like the friendly criticism and help with TE. Rgds, Wolfgang.

bantonbuju (51733) 2012-01-23 4:41

yeah, this one would have been excellent if only a fill-in flash had been applied, preferably with slow mode, and with reduced EV...

best wishes, j.

Hello Yiannis,

This is a well managed composition. but dark places are to much. I can not see his face may be because of his dark skin. Anyway I like it.

Hello Yiannis Savvalas,

A fill flash would result good here.. thought

Hola Yianni,
A great contexual portrait! The framing, angle and tilt work together very well here. And the addition of that Mobylette is fine and evocative find. Xcellent!
Have a great weekend,
Bert

Γιάννη γεια σου,
ωραία η τοποθέτηση του νομάδα στη φωτογραφία με την σκιά να τον σκοτεινιάζει αρκετά, ειδικά το προσώπό του.Το πρόσωπό του στο WS φαίνεται να είναι καμμένο από το υπερβολικό clarity.Η αρχική έκδοση είναι πολύ καλύτερη για μένα φυσικά.
Απ΄ότι βλέπω ασχολείσαι αρκετά με την φωτογραφία και ειδικά με το CS5
Σου έφτιαξα ένα δικό μου WS με την ίδια έκδοση του CS5,αλλά χρησιμοποιώντας μέσω του Camera RAW,το smart object,που επηρεάζει επιλεκτικά με το εργαλείο brush το χρωματισμό-φωτισμό των δημιουργουμένων επιπέδων.
Σου γράφω για να το ψάξεις παραπάνω.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hi Yiannis...
A good portrait of this man with a motorized bicycle that is leaning on the wall. Warm colors, with blue sky is beautiful. Recorded from an interesting angle. With respect

yeln (11502) 2012-03-15 11:54

hello Yiannis
barvno zelo interesantna kompozicija.
tudi obraz je zanimiv le nekoliko je temen zato ne pride toliko do izraza kar pa je škoda pri tej dobri fotografiji.

Γιάννη, πολύ όμορφη και ιδιαίτερα ενδιαφέρουσα η φωτογραφία σου! Μου αρέσει πού δέν φαίνονται τα χαρακτηριστικά στο πρόσωπο, το μπλέ με τα γήινα χρώματα είναι μια πολύ όμορφη αντίθεση!
