Another Portrait

[Sergio M.]

I ran into this man while downtown. I thought I'd try and I was able to get a photo.




Voigtlander 40 mm, f/8.0, 1/400, ISO-200

[Shadowman]

Nicely captured and converted.

Very nice, Sergio.

That's a great shot Sergio, full of character and fine detail, I really like the framing

Nice capture...

I like the eye contact here, Sergio -- it is nice shot but I would rather that the crop be a little bit more contained like crop up to the end of the shadow of his beard or something...Just a thought...

Thank you, Adam.

While talking to him I knew I had to try and get a photo. As the saying goes, "nothing ventured, nothing gained". I'm glad I did.

The framing I felt was well suited for getting a closer look while still maintaining openness and a certain distance. The shirt also helps balance out the background.

Issie,

I appreciate your input. See my response to Adam as to why I framed the way I did.

Thank you.

Noted. But I still stand on my statement.

Sergio, I agree with Izzie that cropping would help the image. I, however think that 75mm would be enough, leaving enough white for balance. That is only my opinion.
Cheers Ole

I would expect nothing less.

Thank you, Izzie.

Your opinion is appreciated, and I accept that for you the suggested crop would improve the photo. I'm pleased with the way it stands, but I do take the view of others into serious consideration.

Thanks, Ole.

Given the lighting conditions, that's a cracking shot and conversion Sergio. Did you need to do much in PP?
