Something Orange, a photo from Akko, Northern

Photographer's Note

This is my 300 photo on TE, so I decided to post something different from my usual line.
I saw this boy and I thought about the Scav Hunt ant the "something orange" category. But layer I realized that this is the first time that I captured a portrait of a child.

Très bon cadrage Yitzhak, l'enfant est bien mis en valeur. Les couleurs sont éclatantes et tranchent avec le blanc de crème glacée.
Excellente mise au point.
Very good centring Yitzhak, the child is highlighted well. Colours are sensational and cut with the white of ice cream.
Excellent settling.

Bright colors under a directionelle light, the face of this child in back-light bathes literally in the color and its hair shines of thousand fires.Cold hot contrast with the background is superb. Considering the appetite of this child the ice will certainly quickly be eaten

Beautifully done, and a good entry.

Nice portrait Yitzhak, I like this short DOF and sharpness face, and rusty tones dominated ;-)

Really nice portrait. I like the boy looking off. The popsicle really sticks out against that orange!

That fact was not missed by me, even without your announcement. You've done a fine job of composing this portrait with the boy set to one side and the whole tightly cropped. Manny would be proud of you. You even were able to include a pipe with evidence of some rust... ;-) This is a fine contribution to the Scavenger Hunt Yitzhak

A very good portrait shot, Yitzhak. I like the expression that you have captured and the way you have framed the shot. Good DOF. Excellent colours, with the foreground and background contrasting well.

Great composition with a tight crop, and him off center. The colours are fantastic, the intense orange and blue of the hat contrasting with the white and deep purple of the ice-cream. I like his expression too, deeply involved in something: eating or looking at something or thinking. The DOF field is perfect too, great shot.

Very nice. Excellent colors and good compo with that slight titl on the head of your model looking to the left. Good shot.

Happy 300th, Itzik, and a fine way to mark the occasion with this nice colorful portrait of the ice-cream eating boy. The simple framing with the log/pipe(?) at the left is nice, and the DOF is good too. Way to go, bring on the next 300.

ChrisJ (86854) 2004-07-14 4:00

Good dof & portrait

This is a masterful capture Yitzhak. I like the pose while the colours add something too. Funnily enough I really liked the purple streak in the ice-cream, for some reason I really liked that.

Very beautiful portrait Avigur !
The colours and the kid expression are very good.
Congratulations

Excellent portrait of this boy Yitzhak, splendid of colour.

pridel (233) 2004-07-14 9:56

superbe ! oui c'est un magnifique portrait, techniquement irréprochable. j'aime beaucoup le regard de l'enfant qui semble dire que la chose la plus importante au monde en ce moment, c'est de savourer cette glace avec la plus grande application :-) Bravo

jrzufferey (7301) 2004-07-14 10:22

Magnifique portrait Ytzhak, j'aime bien ce type de construction, sérrée en haut et en bas avec à gauche un élément qui attire le regard. Merci\jr

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-07-14 12:50

Very nice portrait, Yitzhak! I like very much his look and how you captured him eating his ice cream. Well done and nice entry to the hunt!

A cute little "fox" of the desert! Everything here works well together, the angles and diagonals really complimenting one another, Yitzhak! As a smal nit, I would clone out the pole, it adds nothing to this great picture.

WOW 300 Yitshak. Congrats. Look forward to the next 200...next mile stone ;) Great potrait, the way the boy looks away from the camera. Really good one.

Hi Yitzhak, I suddenly remebered this picture, on which I could not comment at that time, but he was still in my memory, being such a great image of this kid, and different from yout other postings. You captured a great expression, and it's also well framed.
Very well done, Yitzhak.
And congrats with your 300!

femkevdh (2633) 2004-07-27 9:24
