Adonis

Seen him in a shop-window.

 

Your comment/suggestion will be appreciated. I am uploading another version. I would like to know,which version you prefer? Thanks for viewing.

The B&W version you posted as the original is wonderful, Amal. When seeing the thumbnail, I couldn't help being puzzled, wondering who on earth those mysterious features could belong to. Very well done. The B&W tones are gorgeous.

Very nice light and tones, AK. I like the BW better. compliments -koushik

Terrific b&w. Very fine and effective treatment. Regards...

Superb light, powerful contrast, unique execution, dear A.K, very effective, love the both! Best regards

Many thanks for your appreciation.

What an odd picture. The higher contrast of the b&w version is unsettling, like a spirit suddenly materializing before us. The colored version adds a little more information and context. It lacks the visceral punch of the monocolor but is actually the one I prefer. It's a little early in the morning to be punched, after all.

Quite interesting photograph, Amal. The light and contrast are great. Excellent shot! Regards!

Very unique and well executed. I prefer the color version, because I can see more details, which I think add to the composition. Best regards.

At first I thought I like the B/W better but on closer looks again, I think the colour version is better as it transcends one back to the past with its greenish hue.

Amal, I like as well the colored one,even both are very unusual, a bit bizarre photos.I wonder what its source is?

Love the B/W one; nice lighting.

 

Regards...

I enjoy the b/w more. It has such a mysterious feel about it.

Ghostly and disturbing. Very zombie like.

hi dear sircar...very good portrait..its very impressive...takin me in an other world...congratulations

I think it has an almost lifelike look to it. Very nice transformation.

Many thanks for your feedback. Jack & David-I value your comment.Sorry-it is my failure. I tried to create Adonis,but created an Apparition. Pnina, it is a mannequin seen in a shop-window.Here is the original image.

I prefer the bw, where his left jaw doesn't look to "mannequinly" perfect. It fits the dark fragile overall impression, and his sad looking eyes. Regards - Hasan

In your original version with the slight glow, some roughness to the skin, and a semi-vacant stare, you've breathed life into a mannequin. It seems incredibly real and, like Jack mentioned, spectral.

Hasan & Jeff, many thanks for your appreciation.

very original work..congrats.regards

Very creative and well seen with an artist's eye.

You have made this ordinary statue a real extraordinary and life like portrait!!

I couldn't belive my eyes till I saw rest of the images, bravo!!

 

Warm regards, Rakesh.

Sircar, very nice indeed.

I am glad you like it. Thanks for your support.
