Hi Ertugrul,
What a warm glowing gold tooted smile you have captured here. Wonderfully brilliant colors and a striking reflection in your subject's sun glasses makes this festive portrait really pop!

Greetings, Ertugrul -
Fantastic portrait of this brightly-dressed gentleman. Blazing colors, million-dollar smile (maybe gold is not so valuable these days, but you know what I mean), and I like the reflection of his sunglasses. Very well done.

Merhaba my friend Ertugrul,
a great portrait here. This man dressed in pink color, with his hat and his wide smile, they fill the image of happiness and of charm.
The reflections in his glasses are magnificent, and increase the graphical information of your composition.
Good work with the light and the chromatic quality.
Best regards,
Josep

You found an interesting character here, and a very friendly one too! Look at this smile! And his outfit isn't the most conventional either... His pose is natural looking . He has a great hat too! Well spotted fellow.

Hey Ertugrul,

A lively portrait. The kind you make to like, and do so well. An engaging scene, perfectly post-processed. I`m sorry I don`t have time for a longer critique, perhaps later, anyways its a beautiful portrait.

Best regards

avene (11136) 2008-05-30 11:10

hello Ertugrul,
quite a character, I'd never be brave enough to wear bright pink and yellow at the same time, but it DOES SUIT him :) love the sunglasses and the single golden tooth, interesting to learn that it's a whole tradition. lively portrait indeed, I like it a lot.

with best regards,
Kristine

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-05-30 11:42

Hi Ertugrul:

Undoubtedly friend, that is one of your best portraits, but the best!

The warm and lively, high stress and pleasantly at the scene. The sharpness of detail, both the foreground and the background, deserve to be admired, so we can fully appreciate your position of the camera lens in character.

I liked, an excellent job and I congratulate you.

John

Merhaba Ertugrul,
The big smile, the funny and colourful clothes, the mirror glasses... You have here a joyful portrait that can only cheers us. The dark door or wall behind him helps the colours stand out even more. As usual, the clarity and sharpness are superb. And that shining golden tooth... ;D
Selamlar, José

axiotea (16281) 2008-05-30 23:30

Hello Ertugrul
A joyful character colorfully dressed who stands out well against the brown door, and I think I might have cut off a bit of the top to give more impact to the subject, but that's not a big deal. Good sharpness and choice of vertical format.
Have a nice day
Marilyn

I love the fun spirit of this nearly comical image of this charactor. It bring a big smile to my face. The pink is so vibrant and sharpness of the image couldn't be better, the feather on the seem so 3D it could be pick right out of the image. Thanks for the smile on my face, and a big smile for you too.

Once more, a very nice and this time a colourful portrait of this funny guy. I like the strong contrast between the vivid colours of his dressing and the dark bg.. It is also great that he weared this large pair of glasses, where the reflections are very well visible.
Very good one! Tfs and best wishes.
Attila

noborders (14201) 2008-09-11 13:09

What a face ! Absolutely irresistible !!! But I would have chosen a much tighter frame, his smile is a bit lost and the top is not so necessary IMHO - you have found an excellent male model who has the sense of the elegance and I hope that you'll post more photos of him !
Tebrikler !
