The hand and the eye would have been enough Hasan but the head and the red is a bonus - a very nice close up - I like the way the out of focus head directs our attention to more fully focus on the hand and that point of contact with the surface of the paper - and such a fantastic story in that hand!

best wishes

I really like your photograph. Especially the focus on the man's hand and artwork. The detail of his black hand and short fingernails with dirt (ash, ink..?) under it. It's great.

You know, seeing people like this, almost makes me jeaulous! The way they seem to be able to put something on paper without any effort..

cheers Sarah

I like the composition here. A face in one corner, another face diagonally opposite - and the arm and pencil to connect the two. Fabulous detail in the hand.

A beautiful study of the artist, Hasan - well composed with his hand on the paper as the main subject, and with a fine inclusion of his profile in the right third of the frame. His wrinkled black hand is the key storytelling element here and it is great that you got it into focus so well. Nice work, I added this to my "artists" theme.

Trés belle image . J'aurais cadré uniquement la main et la peinture ... mais ... elle est superbe.

Bravo

Ahhh. So this is the artist. I saw your other photo first (tight crop of hand and drawing). I love that one more so since I fell in love with that first. I'm sure if I'd see this one first, I'd love it nearly just as much. This too is excellent.
