Inward.

The musician Eitan Hoffer with a special Baroque music instrument Theorbo& lute. Rehearsal in the scottish church in Jerusalem.

 

Thanks for your impressions.

Thanks for viewing

Wonderful composition The pattern created by his arms on the body and neck of the instrument in conjunction with the diagonal corner to corner crop works perfectly. The tri-tone back drop, created I am guessing by a piano, adds another dimension which reinforces the lines and shapes.

 

I like the intensity you have caught in his expression as he follows his fingers with his eyes. The instrument itself looks quite beautiful.

An excellent composition.From the wide strip in the rear to the full diagonal display of the Instrument. I agree you have caught him concentrating fully on his task. I also like the way his arm sits on the bottom of the frame. Great work...Regards

... very good captur ...

Very good diagonal composition,exposure,& light,Pnina.The dark colours(shades) on the background enhances the beauty of the image.

Your 'stage photography' is and remains extraordinary, Pnina. No other words... Regards, El

Pnina..I like the way the diagonal lines are juxtaposed against the horizontal wall lines..excellent portrait of a musician..Best wishes...Marjorie

They are in love, I think. Very fine picture.

Great intersection of lines in this composition. The concentration on his face, the light and the details are very well captured.

Beautiful balanced composition! Perfect geometry of lines! Regards! CL

I love the lines. Not the lute strings, but the lines of his arms, the curve of the lute, the swoop of the background. If this were reduced to a line-drawing without color and texture, it would still be fantastic. This photo has good bones. Adding the color back in adds harmony to an already wonderful melody.

Excellent scene, Pnina. The composition, pose, lines and details are unique. Very good light, colors and contrast. Congrats!

Gord, Thanks for your impressions that I appreciate much as I know your knowledge and interest in music. Yes the back ground is the chembalo,( harpsichord is the name of the "piano") has a very nice and interesting tones of music. I will upload a photo of it at the end of this comment.

 

Keith, I'm glad you liked it, As I wrote to Gordon the back ground is a kind of a piano.

 

 

Ahmet, thanks again for your feedback

 

Amal, I see that the back ground is interesting to you as well, Thanks for your always nice support.

 

El, thanks as well for your kind comment.

Very nice inspired pose, very good capture! Best Regards. Glauco. (Max anon.)

Outstanding diagonal composition. Tones are superb as well as the sharpness. An image of quality. Regards.

Very nice, crossing diagonals. The only thing better than one diagonal is two. How wonderful to be able to photograph musicians at work.

Exellent composed shot,Pnina!Nice matching backgroundcolours.

Pnina:

 

The shadow on the musician's right cheek ties in with your title. It is as if he is looking into his own soul as he creates the music and hears it. Beuatiful color tones as well.

 

If this is not overly presumptuous of me, L'Shana Tova. May your fast be an easy one.

To all of you!

 

Jim, nice to see you here, we already have a history.....

 

Michael, thanks and SHANA TOVA, UGMAR CHATIMA TOVA ! I think it fits....

Pnina, the lute looks so much like and is so related to the Oud, popular in Iran, Turkey and Egypt especially.  The classical and religious oud music is mystical in its beauty.  You would get a feel for it in some of the Sephardic music. Do you ever get out for some of the more ethnic musics?

Yes, there are some music that I like, more Ladino music.

Eitan Hoffer explained that Teorbo is a kind of combined Lauta  and Oud . He  is a member of the barrocade ensemble.

 

Thanks Barry.
