But i remember this one.
I remember the house and the guy.

(yes yes, we were definitely not together while you were working on the bus stop project)

And having witnessed the real colors of the house (which was in complete shade, as far as i remember) i can say, you made an extremely delightful color rendering here. it looks so beautiful.

ps: Fed up with traders of Morocco or Portugal? Come to Istanbul, then... :)

Yes, yes, we should go more often to those remote quarters to look for gems... nice quality and compo here... intriguing # "301"... the floor area adds depth, and that's a good thing, and of course it allows you to catch him full body (and I sometimes complain about feet that are cut), but maybe there is also a possible 2-dimensional approach

[workshop] [compare]

Witaj Jerzy.

Good work, really a very good one. Time ago I said you what I think about your street photos: you're the best, or one of them, in TE.
And this one is a good reason for this thought.

THanks for sharing.

hello Jerzy,

Nice colors in your composition. I love this portrait and these walls.
Bonne soirée
Marie

I like how you framed him in the doorway here Jerzy, and it's a well put-together shot.
The colours, that purple and orange clashing combination, could have had the effect of unsettling the stomach, so I think you made the right choice to desaturate slightly.
It's a good shot - a fine street portrait of this man.

Cheers,
Ben
