My friend Joe!

We were having dinner together and he said he needed a good photo of

himself.

 

 

 

Comments and critiques are very welcome.

 

Thanks in advance

Looks good, light on the side of the face and shirt is beautiful; it seems you might just (only just) have over exposed the forehead; but nice portrait.

Background is also fine, composition fine. Joe seems a tad sad though, no?

Thanks for your comments. I did try to dodge it a bit but I did not like the results so I left it alone,sometimeif you mess too much with it you know what happens. You are also right there some sadness. He is going through a lot of things in his life now. Good perception.

 

Thanks again.Regards.

Well done portrait. Forehead might be slightly over-exposed but not a great problem. Your friend must be pleased with this.

Thanks for your comment and Rob had mentioned the overexposure. I will correct,and yes my friend was very pleased with it.

 

Thanks very much for your continued interest.

Marco, your friend Joe (I like the title!) looks indeed tired but great with his dark shirt... life is a long way and ... still a lot to be explored... looks like for that very man!

fight!!

very interesting this portrait. It's simple and, yet, it fully portrays a rich personality and a long and full life experience.

It's a classic composition and, perhaps, that's the reason it works so well. I would print it in a good quality paper (do you know what we call in spanish 'papel baritado'?) and present it to him as a proof of friendship.

Thanks for the suggestion, I had not thought about it but it would be a good gift since he is a very close friend.

 

Thanks for your thoughtfulness.

As usual, Marco, your image tells a story. Well taken.

 

Maybe he just needed one for his passport?

And, by the way, Marco, good shot, too!

Muy buen retrato de tu amigo! Captaste su expresion muy bien... espero que esta foto le haya dado alegria pues como te dicen se le nota triste. Saludos a ti... y a el tambien!
