We sat at the same table to have a beer and talked a bit. He was there together with some friends, all full dressed, for the whole festival living in the tents. Not acting in the arena but acting among the visitors is he to be called a spectator or more an actor too? But anyway, it was nice to talk with him and he was friendly smiling as I asked him about a portrait.

Wir saßen am gleichen Tisch für ein Bier und sprachen etwas miteinander. Er war mit einigen Freunden dort, alle voll kostümiert, während des ganzen Festivals in den Zelten wohnend. Nicht in der Arena agierend aber mitten im Publikum ist er nun ein Zuschauer oder doch ein Akteur? Aber soweit egal, es war nett mit ihm zu reden und als ich ihn nach einem Portrait fragte, lächelte er freundlich.

Hello Ulf,
A very pleasing portrait under an interesting light that brings out his features to good effect. The neutral background helps lift him and offers no distractions. Very good colours and clarity. Sounds a pleasant way to pass the afternoon.

Hi Ulf,

The image is very nice and the subject interesting. I do find the reflection on the plastic wall a little distracting. The composition is very good though and I think you had a good chat and ended with a good portrait. Thanks Ulf.

Olá Ulf,
A vivid portrait. He looks like a joyful fellow and his joy spread out of the image.
Lieben Gruss, José.

Hello Ulf,
It got dressed like a monk or a pilgrim. In any case, it is a beautiful portrait, well framed and of quality. Good work.
The 16th Knight Games of Castle Freienfels are an interesting festival.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

Hallo Ulf,
Great smile, great pose, but also great composed with the man a bit off center. Tricky exposure, but you did very good here on the dark and bright parts. A real good portrait, i like it.
Regards, Henk

Guten Mittag Ulf,

The sun and light are here the difficult opponents, but It's always very difficult for taking a portrait so spontaneous.
An actor or a monk this is the question, but both are very good played.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice Pentecost weekend,
John.

Bonsoir,
belle photo de cet homme souriant qui est très bien pris, doué, ce portrait est bien nette et joliment coloré, naturellement, avec une bonne lumière

Amitiés Thomas

Hi Ulf,

as much as I see those nice portraits I'm sure I need to go out for attempts. The timing was really good. Nice to see him looking at you. Good job!

Carlos

Hallo Ulf,
Very nice portrait 'medieval style' with a clever lower position, only problem the background just looks too postmodern for the whole story to be true !
Have a nice day JY

merhaba dear ulf

best regards.

Gruss dich, Ulrich -

I've been to a couple of medieval festivals, and there are both actors (paid) and spectators (unpaid) walking around in costume. It's all part of the fun.

And he does look very medieval (well, except for the missing fleas ;-) ). It's a good portrait shot, good use of ambient light and the background.

Best,
Dan

Hi Ulf

Well managed the light
Have a nice weekend
