i know this portrait will not meet everybody's expectations, especially those who long for pure sharpness... This is not my case, and I must admit that i love this kind of portrait which brings an additional touch of tenderness. So receive all my apologies for those and welcome to those daring to like out-of-bounds or breaking-the-rules photography;-)) the original was very sharp but i decided to play with gaussian blur and the brush tool on PS... here is the final result quite to my taste BTW...IMO, it has a taste of male "madonna", something touching my spiritual taste...
For the shooting details, this was shot in a backstreet of Leh, behind the chiite mosk, for those who'd like to pay a visit next time, where most local bakeries are located. He is one of the bread sellers...
as some requested the original, i have posted it as a ws. which one do you prefer in the end? thanks
