Carnival in Venice

From this years Carnival in Venice

I really like this one. The all-green & silver from edge to edge of the frame along with the general compositional elements make it an outstanding image. Their eyes add an element of depth. Good sharpness and exposure, dof. Great job.

nicely done, excellent lighting and tight composition.

I love the colors in this one. Good framing. I also like their eyes.

Beautiful portrait, Stefan. I love how you captured their eyes through the colors and textures that make this so special. Excellent lighting as well. Great job!

composition are superb!

I agree. This is my favorite. Very nice portfolio so far. Keep them coming!

stunning clarity, vibrant color & fantastic composition.

Thanks to everyone of you for your nice inputs :-)

 

It's really nice when someone else appreciate one's work.

by far my fav in the series... LOVE this composition!! Colors and details are wonderful. VERY striking!

 

This must have been a fun shoot.. :o)

Good powerful composition and great use of colour.

EXCELLENT! The whole folder is good...

nice colors ....great composition....6\7

This is outstanding. The textures and great tonal range caught my eye first and then I was drawn in further by the masks and realization that this was a portrait not an abstract of interesting colors & shapes. The compositions you have in this Carnival folder are wonderful and unique.

 

Are these posed shots?

Thanks again to everyone for your very nece words. I'm really glad you like this (and onther carnival pictures I've made).

 

To Tom:

 

Well posed or not posed - that's actually a hard question to answer. At the carnival in Venice all the people in costumes try to "out perform" each others in an attempt to draw the most photographers - and they are really good at doing photographic postures - so in that way they are posed. But, I have not instructed them in any way about what to do or how to do it. I guess you could say that the poses here are the way the persons have decided for themselves they want to be seen. I guess that's the best way to describe the situation...

 

And to you and everyone else who like my carnival pictures (and others on the site as well): If you ever get the chance to go to Venice during the carnival you should - it's a great experience.

 

Cheers,

 

Stefan
