Nice take...as if he's about to look up and ask: e` tu cosa fai qui? ciao -koushik

as always they are welcome. This man was our guide during a brief, intense tour among the old Greek temples of Paestum. A very cultivated man, and funny one too. I chose this shallow dof in order to stress the visual impact of the panama hat texture: I adore those hats. Thank you again, Giuseppe

Perfect use of depth of field to highlight the character. I expect him to look up at any moment and catch me staring at him - that's how immediate and real this photo seems.

I like the texture of the hat in the first plan contrasting with the unsharped back (sorry abou the english!?!),and the hidden phisionomy makes the imagem more important.regards, Marianne

sometimes faces should be partially hidden to help the viewer construct (extrapolate?) her/his own story ;-) Thank you so much for your appreciation, Giuseppe
