cd thacker 0 Posted January 20, 2002 may be better than the other one. Exceptional work, my friend. Link to comment
jodie coston 0 Posted January 20, 2002 I keep coming back to look at these over and over, because I can't believe what I'm seeing. They are truly amazing. Link to comment
dan_woodlief1 0 Posted January 21, 2002 I rarely find the time to post on here, but I had to this time. As others have said, your photos of Daniil are timeless. This one is even better than the other, but both are beautiful. I would make a very large print and hang it on the wall, and I would be very proud to have taken these photos. I could even see these hanging in an exhibition somewhere. They are truly some of the best I have seen on this site in the many years I have been visiting it. Link to comment
doug bowles 0 Posted January 21, 2002 I'll be honest: I just about passed this over when I was looking at it. My first reaction was, "Why would anyone post pictures of a Rembrandt painting here, and what self-respecting gallery would allow photography?" Except that I couldn't remember ever seeing *this* particular Rembrandt. It didn't make any sense, so I looked harder. And then I realized what I was looking at. Amazing, my friend. This is truly an exceptional photograph. I'm humbled, and glad to have had the opportunity to have seen it. Link to comment
sandy_furlong 0 Posted January 22, 2002 i just love this so much, and the other one too (i don't mind his 'awkward' hands, or the way they're cropped off.) but this one, i love it so much, it's such a surprise, it's magic, so beautiful. you're a painter. i wish it was mine. Link to comment
eric_sheets 0 Posted January 22, 2002 Another fantastic Rembrandtesque photo. Bravo once again! Link to comment
mgarde 0 Posted January 23, 2002 Really wonderful. If you are interested in comparing to web-available Rembrandts, here's a link http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rembrandt/rembrandt.html. The upload is the closest of them in pose and general tone and lighting. Link to comment
n_n 0 Posted February 7, 2002 Doug - you took the words out of my mouth! Thought it was a painting all along, and the colours really remind one of Rembrandt. Could the photographer perhaps fill us in with a bit more background? Link to comment
denise_duhamel 0 Posted February 9, 2002 This photo is timeless ... it caught my eye immediately. The simple lighting makes this photo. Congratulations. Link to comment

mike_klemmer 0 Posted March 8, 2002 offhand, do you recall the wattage of the light bulb? Was it a clear glass bulb? Link to comment
alexey_tikhonov1 0 Posted March 11, 2002 Mike - I think it was 40 or 60 Wt, in principle clear but dusty Link to comment
albano 0 Posted May 13, 2002 10 and 10. As I already told you, this is one of my favorites photos of all I've seen Link to comment
cesar_gamez1 0 Posted July 12, 2002 I'm having a hard time believing this is a photograph, congratulations, it is amazing! I must say that I love paintings (realism, naturalism, impressionism and whatever -isms exist in between) and probably my lack of ability on painting led me to use photography, but definetively you have re-opened my eyes into trying some classic style (painting) photos.
