Excellent composition. I like the fact that you see neither the hand nor the face in their entirety. The DOF is good also.

Extraordinaire cadrage et maitrise de la profondeur de champs. C'est vraiment un cliché original et traduisant bien l'ambiance de cette scène. Beau travail, Mikael.

Nearly perfect... I believe that the shilom could have been a bit sharper (i have the feeling that the fingers are sharper here). But I suppose it wasn't an easy one. Good control of DOF.

I love the shot

belle image! j'aime beaucoup l'expression de l'oeil et du front, bien qu'ils soient en second plan... remember...

I like the color and composition is unique. Very nice.

I really like this one - it goes so well with the subject - the DOF works so well to show the prominence of the chillum - overpowering the definition of the individual ......and perhaps achieving that blending with the universal overconscious that comes from being stoned with meaning!

A really nice portrait of this man and the religious significance of charas for him. Om Nama Shivaya
