Hello Helmut and welcome. Your first post although over twenty years old shows a bold and well composed image. I am looking forward to seeing more.

Very nice portrait, great tones and tight crop, thanks for sharing.

Nice post. I think the TE community would like to see a larger image to judge it better,but very nice. Your subject seems very indifferent in this photo and I like it, creates an interesting tension for me.

Well done,
Doug

Beautiful B&W portrait with an excellent POV and very good contrasted colours. The only minus is the size of the photo on TE. It is really small to let us appreciate it properly. Well done, anyway.
Wellcome to TE.
Antonio

Hi Helmut,

Thanks, Arnab

Hi Helmut,

this is an excellent BW portrait...and taken in the year when I was born!

Take care, Ivana

Hey Helmut,
You rendered me speechless, your quest for capturing such images of people around Haiti. Perhaps your skills in photography plus the desire to explore more about the world can be shared here in TE. A poignant documentary of lives well presented.

PERFECT..
NO WORD TO ADD...
BRAVO

A great photograph. Nice tone and composition.

I, as some of the others, would enjoy seeing a larger version.

Great Job.

Congratulations.

Hi Helmut,

Interesting framing and nice glance.

A smile from Italy!
