Nice painting-like effect you created here. It's very interesting to find a Scottish bagpipe player in Paris!

I wasn't expecting someone with so many tattoos playing that bagpipe, Avigur. But I must say that the incredible mustach matches so well to a bagpiper. Seems like you really added sharpness here, isn't it?

I think the effect of painting works well on this photo, but by the composition and colors I doubt it would be necessary as this shot is very nice.

I don't know what effect you used onto this pic or if you sharpened heavily but the result is too much and disturb me. What is a pity because the portrait would be wonderful (needs also to make the background a little bit more out of focus to be perfect...) I know, I am very hard-critic today...

A very interesting shot. I have never seen a Scot wearing a French beret. A colourful character and a colourful photo. Well seen and captured.

This looks like an oil painting. I like the effect! The lights and shadows are so nice here in focusing on the player's face.

Venir à Paris pour voir (et photographier) un joueur de Cornemuse, voilà qui n'est pas courant.
Photo très originale Yitzhak !!!
To come to Paris to see (and photograph) a bagpiper, here are who is not current. Very original photograph Yitzhak!!!

D'habitude les Parisiens ont juste un béret... ou une baguette de pain. Faut être fort pour trouver un joueur de cornemuse ! Belle photo au final et bien cadrée ; peut-être manquant de finesse (dans le grain) mais pas dans l'humour :-)))

Original picture, but is it the Jpeg compression rate too high which gives this effect?

I would have prefered a bit less contrasted.

Anyway, the hornpiper in Paris is an original picture..
