Hello Didier,

Quel portrait ! Plein de caractère et d'interrogation !
Je trouve que la lumière aurait pu être pas mal mais que l'image est un peu sous exposée. Les ombres sont un peu trop présentes par rapport à la luminosité de l'arrière plan ! Peut-être qu'un petit coup de "Tons clairs tons fonçés" aurait pu sauvé la chose.

Hello Didier,It is a portrait that you gave with big clarity! The indirect lighting adds cruelty essential it keeps pace with the crisis as meaning Believe that the simple person and brain allocate and can it faces the phenomena that they are said recession he is enough want him responsible

salut didier
un portrait pas banal de ce gars, la tresse de sa barbe c'est pour mieux tremper dans son café.. une lumière difficile a gérer mais tu l'as bien négocié avec les ombres

Bonjour Didier,
J'aime le portrait dans la lumière et haut en couleur au propre comme au figuré. Le sujet est bien choisi, avec son chapeau et le poil rebelle. Excellente qualité de réalisation. Félicitations.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Bonjour Didier,

C est vrai, cet homme a une vraie presence. J aime beaucoup le rendu du flou d arriere plan.
Par contre, en Post Processing, j eclaircirais bien un peu le visage pour le rendre juste un peu plus visible; sans pour autant trop modifier le contraste amener par le chapeau. J essaierai de faire un WS un peu plus tard.

Yves.

Salut Didier
C'est vrai qu'il a un petit côté "druide" ton sujet du jour. Il lui faut surement une belle patiente pour faire sa natte!!
Belle réalisation et bon moent de complicité!!

Bonjour didier

A superb portrait, with impeccable sharpness & shallow dof. Excellent shadow detail on the old, bearded mans face, with good colour, saturation & sidelighting. Bon weekend!

Didi (35998) 2009-03-27 18:19

Salut Didier
Intéressant portrait de Charlemagne incognito.
L'expression est naturelle et non figée.
J'ai donné mon avis sur le WS par un WS:)

Salut Didier,
Je crois que je l'ai déjà vu, lui... Il était au volant de "ma" DS du Monte Carlo historique (là) :o)
Un joli portrait de foule,
Bonne journée,
JB.

fulvio52 (8314) 2009-03-28 2:46

Bonjour, Didier.
Stunning portrait, with superb painting-like quality and lots of character. Shadowplay and colors are simply brilliant! Have a good day and a nice weekend, my friend. I'll be seeing you,
Fulvio.

salut Didier
Un sympathique portrait de rue (c'est pas évident en France) des ombres et lumières qui me plaisent bien et l'arrière plan joliment floute.

belido (16273) 2009-03-28 9:38

Bonsoir Didier,

you are doing very well in your portraits. Another good play with the highlight/shadow. The old man has a straight expression, I like that. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

hispic (7399) 2009-03-28 19:58

Bonjour Didier,
Beautiful light and color, splendid rendition with punch like positive film. The man with his cute beard in plait has been captured with an excellent composition. Bokeh in the background is also beautiful.
Have nice Sunday, Hisashi

azaf1 (15541) 2009-03-29 2:42

Bonjour Didier

A really nice one. First his eyeconatct leaving alot to be said and second his great appearance. As if the guy came out from old times, and of course your good POV with the nice shadows and bright colors. I might have given him a b/w to fit with his appearance.

Have a good day and TFS

Bonjour Didier
Voila un personnage haut en couleurs et un bon portrait spontane, il me semble que cette image recele un petit potentiel d'eclaircissement.
Bon dimanche JY

rodgerg (23717) 2009-03-29 7:01

Bonjour Didier,

Beaucoup de majesté dans ce portrait avec ce regard intense, expressif très bien capté. Cadrage idéal et point de vue légèrement oblique très bien choisi. Un beau portrait, un excellent travail photo.
Amicalement et bon diamnche,
Roger

Wanda1 (10923) 2009-03-29 8:22

Hi Didier,
Captured at the right moment as he made eye contact with you, he looks like an interesting man and I like that his face is half lit and half in shadow. Good DOF and off centre composition as well.
Regards
Wanda

danos (32198) 2009-03-29 13:13

Salut Didier,

A strong portrait with such a nice light hiting his beard and eye. Excellent DOF with nice bouquet on the bg.

batalay (20810) 2009-04-03 18:55

Hello Didier,

An exceptionally incisive portrait of the man, with excellent composition (his right eye is right on the centerline of the frame). The colors and resolution are flawless.

Warm regards,

Bulent

skippy007 (6963) 2009-04-05 22:02

Hello Didier, A very interesting character you captured here, A little different to the normal but I can admire that in someone who has the courage to be different.
The light & his glance is what makes this work very well,IMO.
A very good portrait, caught at the exact moment for maximum impact.
Bravo.
Regards
Santo

wolf38 (12664) 2009-04-08 4:54

Hello didier. A skillful snapshot. The direct view of the man into the camera pleases me. The man is a öco-type somehow. Best regards, Wolfgang.

maxlp (32) 2009-04-09 13:36

hello didier

bonne tête, en effet, tu as bien isolé de la foule environnante ce manifestant a l'air pacifiste, son regard est franc et direct.
du pur reportage.

bantonbuju (48514) 2009-04-10 23:51

two things:
intriguing face that cries for portraiture (and you "agreed" to the temptation...:-) somehow was not treated in the way it deserves... i know - you did your best in these lighting conditions but somehow i miss the eyes being much clearer than now...
second thing - those brasilian-flag-like green/yellow "dots" distract... wish you had a different background or a lens with f/2.8 aperture...

bw, j.

alainh (35357) 2009-04-11 22:35

Salut Didier

bon dimanche à toi

CLODO (4078) 2009-04-12 10:04

Bonjour Didier
L'éclairage de côté met en valeur ce soixantehuitard, barbu à souhait. Tu as bien cadré et mis au point, pour avoir de l'espace devant lui et réglé le diaphragme pour obtenir un fond suffisamment flou.
Belle prise
CLODO
