I love the mood to this piece. I would dare to suggest that you watch the light on the forehead and the tip of the nose a bit when you compose. The bit of light on the nose is especially distracting. Lovely composition! .....Sherle

Thanks to all PN friends -- old and new -- for your kind comments and ratings. I appreciate them greatly. Warm regards...

intense...as all the people who play...

Bravo Joseph! It's excellent.

Very, very nice!!!

Great, Joseph, I can feel his music and the intensity of the melody in his expresion. Well done, maestro!

Excellent portrait, very good light, intense expression. Congrats! Glauco

This is a fantastic shot Joseph. Wonderful composition and crop. Great use of shadows and B&W. Simply perfect. Thanks for your time and comments on my photos.

Excellent B&W portrait Joseph. I can't give you a 7. Regards.

i'm out of superlatives. how about astounding. your portraits are so consistently fresh and vibrant.

Here I am down on the list by a hundred. You certainly are a popular guy! You seem to have this marvelous talent for turning out one perfect portrait after another. This is no less terrific than those that went before it. Wonderful work my friend.

Great portrait Joseph, perfect !!

 

Regards

Joe, are you high and dry or is the flooding about to wash you away? You came to mind immediately when I saw the news about the floods. And yes this is another stunning image from your series of portraits, I feel like they're just ordinary folks enjoying life at the local pub, they're beautiful and in some way very poignant about life being lived in a simpler way, the enjoyment of music, dance, and friends. I'm busy calving now and gone most of the day so I won't be very active on PN. Hope you're OK.

Much more than just a portrait done with mastery.

 

One can feel his emotion, his love for the violin, and the violin lost in the darkness.

 

This image confirm my beliefs: photography are emotions. Pure photography here.

Everytime I want to comment on one of your fotos my finger gets sore from scrolling down, as so many others already beat me to it. Anyway - great portrait, wonderful tones and, and....just what everyone else said! Well done! Barb :)

Joseph, I'd rated this 6/6. Today, as I came back to this portrait, I couldn't believe myself! How could I do that? I am giving your art due respect now. Keep sharing!

Happy Eastern.Janusz.
