Hi Maciej,
what an impressive shot here! Very well captured and very original frame. Great dof, perfect focus and well saturated colours. It seems that you were in the pub of horrors. Great one and excellent idea!
Best regards.

Superb, one keeps thinking the woman is holding a mask, despite it being a real person, the colors are a bit sickly, it all fits so well. Unique, strong, evocative, bravo Maciej, keep shooting in that vein, you're on to something, style wise.

Hi Maciej.
Excellent. You were a clever man. The light is fantastic, but the eyes of the man are simply great.
Also a great composition.

Carlos.

Hi Maciej!
A unique photo! Ok, every photo is unique ;-) but what I mean to say is that this one is just... unique (I don't know how to put it differently haha)
If I look at this guy for too long I tend to try to unconsciously open my eyes wide like himself, it contagious!!
And the woman in the bagkground, laughing, is not helping me to remain serious for a second!
Ok, seriously the composition is obviously the key thing here, cropping a guy right below the nose, I'll try to remember that!
Thanks,
Very very nice!

Looking at your photos since you post here, I think you have improved. You seem to be more close to people, that your photos tells more and more a story. Here is a good example of that. The expression of that man is strong. It is surprising at first to see just a part of his face. We are more used to see the forehead being cut than the chin. This is a dangerous path though. It could become too gimmicky, if you see what I mean. But here, it is quite original and good, IMO. Essential here too: the woman smiling in the back. It is what makes that photo a story and not just a snapshot.

Hi Maciej!
I like how you crop photo.Mans eyes are a little dreadful.I like blured lady in background.You indicate with blur that she is in second plan.
Very good composition and angle of view.Bravo!
Regards!

Great shot, Maciej, I'm sorry I missed this one. Amazing framing in the "monster genre", makes one thing of Frankenstein.
Well seen!
