twanvanelk 0 Posted August 21, 2005 The guy has a great face and I like the composition and the sharpness of the figures in the foreground, but what has happened with the background? Link to comment
cedricraguenaud 0 Posted August 21, 2005 Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like the DoF was done digitally. I think it works well given that the emphasis is on the man and the bird. But the edges of the falcon could be more precise. Link to comment
bigsquashbuggy 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Agree with the comments about the background. Would also like to see the whole owl (it is an owl, right?). Still like the shot. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 22, 2005 Excellent. what a handsome Man and so great excellent B&W!! Biliana Link to comment
minicucci 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Rui: I agree with all of the above. This is a fabulous shot and tonal execution that is marred a bit by the background. The precision of the man's face and the owl is just outstanding! With some work on the background, I think you have an award worthy image. Attached is one version with a fully blurred background, a slightly tighter crop and the owl edged just a little closer to the man. Link to comment
vasilis 0 Posted August 22, 2005 It is a very good portrait, I like the postprocessing although maybe it is a bit excessive. I would like also to see the original. Thanks for sharing Link to comment

rui bonito 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Thank you very much for all your comments. Best regards. Link to comment
carloscarvalho 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Rui, in fact I think the background is taking all the attentions. You should push it a litle bit more, or maybe you should pull it down to the man. Although that, I think the man's expression is great. B&W tones was a good choise. Regrads, CC. Link to comment
armindo_lopes 1 Posted October 4, 2005 To me this is a very goos image, a good work even in the background. Link to comment
