herseyiyle harika bir portre olmus. adamın yüzündeki çizgiler, sigarayı tutuşu, dertli duruşu ile çok etkileyici.

Ali rıza bey merhabalar;

modelin arka plandan soyutlanışı modelin elinin duruşu modelin kırışık yüz hatları modelin gözlerini yumup derin derin dalışı mükemmel bir siyah beyaz portre çalışmasının mükemmel unsurlarını oluşturmuş..birde her fotoğrafınızda detaylıca verdiğiniz teknik bilgiler tıpkı bir fotoğraf okulu gibi..

ellerinize sağlık..

Extraordinary portrait, Ali.
Total completion..

In my language:
Nothing to add to it, nothing to take out...
Every pixel in place.

Hi Ali Riza
A strong B&W portrait with intense expression of the old looking man and well contrasted conversion. The narrow DOF isolates him from blurred BG. Sharp and clean work
Greetings

axiotea (16359) 2008-02-11 21:19

Merhaba Ali Riza
The title, made me think straight away of the famous french artist! thanks for the link!
A good choice of vertical format in B&W which gives more impact to the portrait which has strong expression.
Selamlar

Merhaba Ali Riza,
Oh yes, the attitude is superb, so strongly lost in thoughts and we can see who you tried to match with this photo. Looks a bit dark to me but this must be my bad work monitor...
Have a nice day JY

Merhaba Ali Rıza Bey,
Rodin referansınız göz kamaştırıcı. Netlik, ışık, duruş, sigara, kırışıklıklar, bakış açınız, siyah beyaz ve dikey kadraj da enfes. Çok etkileyici bir portre, ve alan derinliğinin de süper kullanımı. Elinize sağlık.

Hi Ali,

Thoughts of life..
Maybe his lost love.... He may have loved a woman dear.... and she, without even thinking what did happen, smiled her made-up freshness at him and just vanished to the unwanted world....without any visions of life... She may have been living in fantasy.....When she realises the truth..... what's in store? Nothing!!!!! A great story that I remembered when I saw this shot.. I feel sad, but i rejoice....
Life is not sad, not as the woman visioned...
Can you say that you were really perfect and truthfull to me?
DID HE ASK THIS QUESTION?
He is really thinking, whether to ask or not !!!
He will never ask....
A great image that speaks a lot...

hi ali riza
I was drawn into this one by the thumbnail and title, and wasn't disappointed: it's an unusual, cleverly taken photo packed with drama.

well done

Hi Ali, WOW, An amazingly detailed portrait, the deep lines in this weathered old mans face are brilliantly clear &, his uncombed hair stands-out superbly against the blurred background, the tight cropped vertical composition is just excellent, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

tehanu_f (6874) 2008-02-12 8:37

Gercekten de tam Rodin'e gonderme yapilacak birsey cekmissin. Her detayiyla cok basarili bir portre. Netligine, alan derinligine, adamin durusuna bayildim. Tebrikler.

parbo (11054) 2008-02-12 18:04

Merhaba Ali Riza,

Excellent capture of this man while he is depth thought. Your capture is very natural and timing is very good because his eyes are not targeted to you. Wonderful, congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Salam Ali
I like this portrait with a lovely contrast and good natural expression of the old man.
It's also a good publicity for IBM ... Think :)
Cheers.
