Lighted/Shadowed portrait...

Very nice portrait......!

wow Pnina, GREAT effect with the blue lines coming into the frame, I like the effect of the shadow on his face, the only thing I would have changed, is the blue in the upper right corner, but it is not realy an issue.

Love your creation. Wonderful child and expresion. The colors are very nice, Pnina, well done!

Excellent shot, strong play of light and shadow, great framing, very orginal and a cool and great looking guy! Yes, I love it!

Chipsy,Els,Mari and Janet, thanks a lot,

nice to read your thoughts, Pnina

You quite control light and shadow in the best way. Very nice portrait with strong contrast without harshness.

 

A small sparkle can be seen on Omer's forehead. I think Lukman questioned about it. A jewel? If not, must be the light of his wisdom(Well, I feel like I have seen the same light on your forehead too...).

Excellent use of the light, shadow, background, colors & fine line - play, sweet expression too, very well done!!! Best regards.

Hiroya, thanks for that nice comment,I thought that Lukman reffered to the shadow on his forhead... ( it is already corrected). HE is a brilliant child Hiroya, you are right ;-))....

 

 

Richard, thanks as well for your nice comment!

 

Pnina

Great background! The direct look at the camera is very good too. Not so keen on the dark shadow on the forearm but congratulations on capturing such a striking shot.

Good and very original portrait of your grandson Pnina. The light and shadow gives a fantastic effect here. I like the sunny colours and Omers adorable expression. Good framing; together with the bars at the background it causes an optical illusion of locked in and locked out. I don't know how to express myself in English Pnina, but I hope you understand what I mean with the optical illusion that I feel when I look to this picture. Many Greetings, Ada:~)

Thanks Colin( not very usual to get a 7 from you...lol) and Ada, I'm glad you liked it.

 

Ada, I understand what you mean . That composition is a bit different and as such brings all sort of feelings. Omer is such a great kid, and last week we went to the park to shoot together and I teach him how to photograph and build a composition...

 

Thanks again to both of you. Pnina

Not sure how I missed this. I like it a lot. The light and shadow with no burn out shows your control of the midium. Well done.

His pose and expression reminds me of some old Dutch paintings, however, the scenery and lighting is completely different. The shadows/ light make a nice stage for this young man. What makes the shot successful is his posture and charisma, IMO

 

Cheers

Better than "Blue Boy". Excellent portrait,Pnina.I love your selection of blue on blue.

Howard, Carsten and Amal thanks!!

 

 

Very attractive image, Pnina, due to the blue stripes. You always have an original way to attract the eye. Carsten is right about the similarity with dutch paintings

Thanks Manolis, appreciate your visit. Pnina

I love the light & shadows here. In the thumbnail it looked like he had a hat on. But the shadow over his forehead is effective!

Jailed by the light...I love it! Omer is skilled at posing as well. Nice shooting Pnina!

Thanks Lou Ann and Don.

 

Don, Omer is a pleasure, and cooperative.We are having fun together.

Fine shadows and light study - nice to view in colour. I might have desaturated the blue shirt a bit to match the background diagonals.

Thanks Seven, I thought about it before uploading and decided to leave it as is because I think the contrast works well with two kinds of blue and accentuate the hand's gesture. Pnina

Very creative - a combination of an abstract and a portrait, really. The composition is interesting, and the exposure is well controlled. He will treasure this one in 20 years!

The shadow on his head looks like a hat, very cool! I also like the blue. Wonderful portrait!

Pnina, I love this portrait, very well composed in blue, I like the light and shadow.

cheers Jana
