Technically the shot is nice. Good sharpness and a fresh look on crop and composition. But I'm not really atracted by this shot. I'm not sure why though. Maybe (for me) it misses some interesting things. Hope you don't mind me saying.

  • Great

very nice theme, Ishai
and this one is excellent for opening
very good clarity and sharpness
very tight crop, normally I want to see the whereabout, situation etc. but I like it, looking forward to see on the next serie

Hi Isahi
How simple can it be: so well known adn a good eye for detail and compo. Perhaps a bit more contrast would be nice but I like the idea.
Take care, -Albrecht-

Well, Well Ishai, I wouldn't really encourage anyone carry bread this way, specially in the midst of summer.

I personnaly do not like my bread too underarm tasty nor slightly wet (anyone knows the puking smiley).

Otherwise a nice graphical shot but I probably would nitpick about the position of the bread into the image : perhaps too centered.

Hi Ishai,
I really like your composition. I like the light on his shirt.
Anyway I do not agree with donluico about the comercial ... your model's arm looks a bit strange, it is ok but not the skin for a comercial.

Could only be France. Interesting composition of such a simple thing. You have a good eye Ishai, and thanks for the recipe, I'll try it.:)

Hello Ishai.
Not withstanding Luko's droll comment re: sweat, etc. this is a beautifully cropped moment with terrific, realistic colors. A culinary book cover for sure.!
Well done,
Francis

Hi Ishai
This is not a picture, it's a symbol.
The bread of France or the France of bread.
Nice POV.
Well done
Bertrand

Well, Ishai, maybe not a great image, but it says what it has to say and well. the love of the french for their bread, known around the world. Without any location, title and note, people would still say "France!". Then, maybe the light is a bit strong on the shirt, but the idea still resides in a simple shot speaking volumes.

Quite simple but quite powerfull image!..
gives me a kind of mundane feeling of a daily- rutine life..
you had a great eye here Ishai imo.
cheers.. (ill pass by)

Good shot, simple framing, excellent compo. While living in France, I once saw a dog walking home with a baguette in it's mouth. Oh, to have had my camera with me.....

Hey ho,
I like it very much. It evokes emotions. I dont know how it would look like when you see the shoulder of the man too-which is the way i would have taken it. I'm looking forward to roam the markets in the provence myself this year!

Beautiful market photo.
So French.
Well seen & done!
:)
