Hallo Christian,

ein wunderschönes Portrait... du hast den schütern staunenden Gesichtsausdruck sehr gut eingefangen!

Schönen Abend
Günther

Chris, you've manage to portray dark umbrella with big white eyes walking without the owner?:)
OK.. that was kind of a joke, nth personal:( maybe not from the highest shelf, though, hope that at least - funny:)?

Beautiful light and standard for you - breathtaking transparency.. I'd add some interaction around to build the whole scene but you like purity.. and we have one.

Surface on its way to find the soul.. that might be a really beautiful story wrote on that theme.. .with Autumn NY in the background.. Miss NY a lot!

Ciao caro Christian, come stai?
foto inquietante, non solo per l'espressione e gli occhi di questa ragazza, ma anche per le note, che ci fanno capire dove siamo. Ground zero resterà sempre una grande ferita per l'umanità. Giusto postare anche queste immagini.
Ciao, passa una buona settimana!
Paolo

Je n'ai pas été spécialement emballé par l'image en l'ouvrant....et puis je suis resté scotché devant ce regard et je ne peux plus m'en détacher...c'est dire la force qui se dégage de cette photo si originale. Une unité de tons magnifique.
Amicalement
JJ

Hello Chris!

A different side of your talent! Excellent portrait job, beautiful "natural" take, great timing to capture this expression! Excellent focus and "shallow" depth of field, great framing and composition!

Great street shot, Christian. Good compostion, interesting background blur and just wonderful how the eyes stand out!

Yeah..the faces have always carry a story from this place..this is not the first..perhaps an elements missing to make the viewer not try too hard to read into the shot..

good one anyway chris

Absolut genial, Christian! Das Portrait ist TOTAL speziell. Die Grossstadt pulsiert im Hintergrund, die Maschinerie laeuft auf Volltouren und dann diese voellig private Momentaufnahme. Der Mensch in der Grossstadt, verloren, fasziniert, alleine gelassen, veraengstigt ... so was in der Art. Herrlich wie das Weiss der Augen hervorkommt, was fuer ein Blick, was wohl vorgeht? Okay Ground Zero, muss ein mulmiges Gefuehl sein, aber solche Grounds gibt es noch viele ... leider ... Gruss + schoener Abend, Barbara.

quality capture.
it is all in her eyes, and got her in fantastic DOf.
greetings, Arnab

Hi Christian.

Good work with this non centered composition and this good portrait.
The exposure and DOF were good too.

Carlos.
