Colourful portrait Photo

Photographer’s Note

An irresistible and colourful portrait

Colorful

Written by brian vander ark

The show is over close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well they’re reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser’s living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way

Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn’t pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory well
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser’s living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way

Look ahead as far as you can see
We’ll live in drama but we’ll die in a comedy
I know I can be colorful...

Listen to this song of Verve Pipe

Hi Rob. There’s no doubting the colours in this shot and no doubt a colourful character too. Excellent composition and totally natural pose. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Hi Rob

I guess red & blue are this guys favourite colours? Good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Dag Rob,
Mooi portret van dit zeer kleurrijke type.
Zijn lichtblauwe oog vormt een sterk punt in de compositie en hij kleurt zo wonderwel met zijn omgeving.
Groeten Gerrit

Bonjour, mon ami Rob,
L'on peut dire que cet homme est un personnage haut en couleur à tous points de vue !
Excellent portrait réalisé sur le vif !
Excellent !
L'oeil du photographe a encore frappé avec justesse.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Rob,

A veritable symphony of colors, but is he the subject or is he the victim? The shot is very well composed and sharp. The subject is looking away, and the photographer is not interacting with him, essential! Echoing the title of a sitcom from the 70s, "Different strokes for different folks!" I imagine in his circles, there must be many "colorful" souls like him.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Olá Rob,

stunning portrait! Man, look at his expression...that's what we photographers want from the model. I also like the way you colorized this. Very well done!
Regards,
Carlos

he seems so typically BRITISH to me, that I'd give you the green monkey just for that authenticity piece. but the photo is darned good too.

cheers,

Hi Rob,

What a capture! The colours are stunning and the portrait is fantastic. When I saw the tumbnail I though that it might be a painting and I guess it is in a sense. You have have made a painting with your camera here. TFS and have fine week!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Rob,
Prachtig portret van deze kleurrijke man, de kleuren van zijn shirt, tattoos en haar zijn mooi op elkaar afgestemd en kleuren zelfs goed bij de achtergrond.
Groeten,
Lars

Hi Rob,
A curious portrait of quite a character. The pose is interesting and the colours, beside being much catchy, match surprisingly well

Uau Rob! This is a winner! Amazing portrait. The guy is quite interesting with his colored her and matching tatoos. The matching colour of foreground and background with his hair and t-shirt links him with its enviroment. Perfect light as well. Bravo!

Regards,

Flavia

Hola Rob.
Funny but at the same time interesting colorful hair, no doubt that he is having fun with the colors of his hair and tattoos. Most be a very popular guy in town. Very good portrait with great details, POV and sharpness.
TFS.
Best regards.

axiotea (16359) 2009-06-30 22:13

It is a beautiful portrait Rob!
An excellent light as well with attractive colours well rendered! I like how the man is looking upward to the sky, his tattoes, his colourful hair which matches well with the ones of the boat.
Excellent framing too!
Cheers
Marilyn

Ciao Rob!
Geniale questo ritratto giocato con i rossi ed i blù! Molto bella la composizione con le diagonali della posa dell'uomo, della balaustra dove si appoggia e delle corde sul fondo! Ottimo lavoro!!
Saluti, Nino.
