Read my lips... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another of my shots of Jews praying at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem. I just liked the quirky way his lips (and not much else) are peeking out from beneath the hat.

excellent shoot, this is Jews praying ! but I think, that the framing isn´t good, too many free places above and right ))) with smile Mik

Great daily life shot! The unsharp background and the well focused rabbi are well composed. I also like the way he looks down and is hidden behind his hat, but some details of his face are still visible. Great Shot.

I personally like the framing :)

Nice composition and DOF and subject.

I would have framed it slightly different though. I tried a workshop, hope you like it.

Great composition. Nice lighting and simple colors. I would crop it a bit.

I like the way you've composed this with his lips, too, Chris. Seems like a very good choice for a picture about a man at prayer. Excellent sharpness and focus. Nice the way you've brought him to the fore and blurred the background. You've done a superb job of capturing and drawing attention to the heart of the story. (I like the framing, too.)
