Hi David,

This is the kind warm and humane portrait that I really like. Great colours and lovely blurred background to match. An honest picture, complimented by an honest and respectful note. That's great portraiting for me!

Hi David, good portrait, just by chance you had all dark ocre colours contrasting with the white, great result. Good expression of the man, although he's kinda of smiling, he had a sad look, eyes with emotion. Thanxs for sharing, chau chau,

Hi David, Good prtrait of this great face. Interesting that he let you take it as judgeing by the dark area on his forehead he is a devout muslim. I thought his eyes were just a little soft and so did a WS. See what you think. Cheers, Steve

Hi David

Excellent use of a shallow dof in this superb head & shoulders portrait from Tanzania. Good colour, sharpness & lighting. Well managed exposure in the highlights of the Islamic cap. Tfs!

Impressive portrait,I use to wonder,did the candid photo more easy and natural look than permission to shoot? But this portrait said to me,NO.:-)Good work,TFS.

Hi Dave,
A nice portrait, good for you that he agreed. The light, the background and his shirt color all seems to create a perfect harmony. To top it all his face is to so expressive. This shot has all it takes to make a good portrait.
Well done,
Shaeri
PS: any luck with the Delhi lady? ;)

David,
It's not easy to take a portrait shot of adult, We don't want to be rude and just snap there photo with permission. It take some courage to ask. This one work out very nice. Great details on the facial texture, a man with with much life experience. Very good shot. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Hi David,
Excellent portrait with the tonality in which saturation is controlled, the color and blur of the background is also good.
Have a nice day, Hisashi
