He was unique.
He lead the small band at port of Cape Town.
He was the music.

I hope I can catch some of it.

As my favourite song says:
What a wonderful world....

Hello Miklos,

It is a bit off in focus, but you clearly make up for it in the way you portray this musician. A very pleasant tight composition. Very human. Very strong as well. Not in a pityfull way, but with respect. I like that!
Could be a tad sharper, but a very humane portrait!

Greetings, Dennis

Hello Miklos. A musician with accordion. The close frameworks shows only the really important. It is interesting to study this face. A worth seeing shot. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Miklos,

Thanks for the wonderful and very humane portrait of this musician. I love its basic blue, red and yellow colours and the man's eyes looking at something or someone in the distance...or maybe dreaming of that wonderful world?

A great post!

Benny

PS: Striking how 'humane' seems to be a keyword here, I only read Dennis' critique after I'd already written mine!

Hi Miklos,
The sharpness is on the accordeon, what a pity it's not on his face and eyes. Because his sad eyes and ezpecially your tight framing is wonderful, wish i had such a portrait.
Regards, Henk

A really nice portrait Miklos, I like how you have captured his concentred look and the wonderful details of the accordion, well done, BRAVO!!

have a nice week,
Fabio.

A really good close shot Miklos with short DOF OOF background, perfect use of zoom to get this included with his instrument.
greetings
Henk

Szia Miklós!
Engem meg az ilyen portrék tudnak meghatni. Túl azon, hogy a műfaj szabályai be vannak tartva, nem tudom, hogy mi az, ami az egyik portréban (például ebben) megragad, másikban meg nem. Talán a személyiség? A pillanat? Még gondolkozom rajta.
Jó hétvégét!

P.S.: Látom, többen beleakadtak az élességbe. Szerintem teljes tévedés felvételi hibáról beszélni, ami itt van az nem "out of focus", hanem "soft focus", a szem mélységélességen belül van (mint ahogyan a portréknál kell). Ennek, csak ennek igazolására küldök a WS-ben egy utóélesített változatot - tehát nem javító szándékkal, hiszen az utóélesítés mértéke a fotós szuverén döntése.

Hi Miklos, good tight crop and composition, shame aboue the bright band of light in the BG, but it doesn't detract too much. Cheers, Steve

Szia Miklós!
Remek kép, nagyon tetszik! Szerintem itt egy egész életet fényképeztél le. A sokféle szín és a harmonika az ő élete.
Kiváló portré, pont annyit vettél bele, mint amennyi szükséges. A vastag fekete keret nagyon jó választásnak tűnik, emeli a kontrasztot.
Gratulálok!
Üdv,
Marci
