Hi Hoang,
Wonderful image!. The light falling on the man is exquisite and the perspective excellent to create a big feeling of depth. What a library! :))
Congratulations.

Hi Hoang,
The light beams streaming through the window create an amazing mood, and the shot looks like a scene from a time gone by. I love the stacks of newspapers everywhere so ordered, and the man reading in his solitude is wonderful. I think that black and white was the right choice here too, colour just would not give the shot the same feeling.
Regards
Wanda

Oh, digital photography made film obsoloete but there is something magic about the black and white that will be an eternal classic, that colour photography just cant match.
You captured an excellent momentum, the beam of light, your subject and the perspetive created by the lined journals is spectacular.

This is a great picture nice light, nice composition, nice POV.

Bravo

Hello Hoang. Brightly, darkness, light, contrasts. A wonderful photo of full atmosphere and emotion. Outstanding composes. A photographic work of art. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Wow. A beautiful scene, so peaceful but the same time powerful photo, driven by extremely good composition;
its a great location with interesting angles and textures and wonderful use of light & shadow to create a mood.

Xin chào Ly,

A very interesting gallery. THis one stands out. The man, alone, reading, reading...keeping up with the world, yet in a world of his own.

Lovely pov, with the reading man receeding in the background, almost disappearing in the sunbeams. Magical stuff!

Benny
