Happiness

Because it cuts through all cultures, languages, differences, policies,

prejudices and perspectives?

Thank you for looking,

KM

and your treatment of it is spectacular - great composition, tones, and especially, great expression - absolutely charming image - this is the image everyone should have above their desk at the start of the day - 7/7

Composition is fantastic, the fake blur is suspect and the spot above his ear where you cut into his head with the blur is disappointing.

This image has so much potential, it deserves a proper rework with a bit more attention to detail!

Fake blur, that's the bokeh of the 135mm f2?

All that has been done to this is a sharpen, a green channels layer BW conversion and curves. The hole in the head is caused by some berk waving their hands infront of the camera and the bokeh of the 135mm f2- which is an awesome portrait lens.

Many thanks for the comments they are appreciated,

Kev

BRAVO! He made me smile!!!!

My apology Kevin, the hole in the head is what led me to believe it was an fake blur, but your explination clears that up for me!

Maybe clone some head back in there ?????

oh does that make sense?

I see this a mile away as one of your pictures. :)

I'm going to go get one of those guys (berks) to go waving hands in front of my pictures.

Oh wait I have a handful of them at every wedding I go to :) ~ he he

I love the feel of motion in this (that bit of blur on his nose) and that dead on sharpness on his eyes. WOW!

:)
