Hi Swiatek
Colour, composition,... is great! The pose of the man, the himself,... you make a fantastic work.

Carlos.

Normally the center would not be the place to locate the man in the frame, but I like it here because it suggests he is still the one in charge of his domain--at least for now. But his pose suggests uncertainty, perhaps about the future. Nice POV and the color scheme is great. Regards, Ken.

Awesome shot, Swiatek... I like the distance here, the use of space and the simple, striaght forward central composition. Fascinating subject, too.

I am trying to imagine this photo enlarged to 4 ft x 4 ft, mounted without border hung under a single spotlight in otherwise darkened exhibition room....
An invaluable photograph.

Czesc,
Doskonala perspektywa, zwlaszcza w tym formacie. Fajne przypalone kolory, jak na starej kliszy. Poza tego czlowieka, jaka udalo ci sie uchwycic sprawia, ze dla mnie jest to zdjecie, ktore sie bardzo dlugo pamieta. Dobra robota. pozdr. maki
