yuri meshalkin 0 Posted October 5, 2007 I wonder what's hidden behind so crystal blue eyes) Good details, and the back light gives a photograph a volume. Link to comment
sitemistic 374 Posted October 5, 2007 I like the overall look of the photo. The blue eyes really stand out against the "old masters" look of the rest of the image. Don't know if it was manipulated, but has the look of he High Pass stuff Joey Lawrence does with such effect. Choice of limited DOF takes the viewers focus off the light bulb nicely and balances the composition. Very effective portrait. Link to comment
mariolupo 0 Posted October 5, 2007 A fine portrait. Beautifully composed with great colour tone . A good tribute to a teacher of painting. Great use of light and colour. A 7/7 for your work. Best regards Link to comment

walterh 0 Posted October 5, 2007 It seems he is/was a good teacher to you. The image is not only excellent but it also shows a bit of both your personality and his personality. The edge of the wall behind the head is a bit distracting but the difference in focus keeps it from presenting a real problem. Link to comment
john falkenstine 1 Posted October 8, 2007 Nice exposure quality, aside from that I find it the standard staring face photograph. Link to comment

viesturs links 0 Posted October 8, 2007 It is shot in his rural house on a background of a wall, which this the bulb also shines. At me behind a back a window, on the person light from a window. Any especial tricks not made: only a raising of sharpness, correction of color, balance of lighting/shadow. The customer (it was made to order for one project) has especially emphasized: " In Photoshop only technical correction ". Link to comment
mikeseb 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Fantastic, simple, beautiful portrait. My only complaint would be the stuff at the lower right over his left shoulder--mildly distracting. Well done Viesturs. Link to comment

hazel_billingsley2 0 Posted June 14, 2008 He has a face full of character & I love the ice blue eyes.Your composition is thought provoking & very good! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 15, 2008 To me it's a great picture but the eyes have been made way to bright in photoshop so they're out of balance with the rest of the face. Tone down the eyes, and you have a very nice portrait. Link to comment
