In the Virtue of Sunshine - My Father

El...A brilliant portrait...The reflection of light on your father's face is poignant...Marjorie

Really good portrait. The details are enhancing the expressive character of the portrait. The lighting is exceptionally good and very attractive.A precious model. Best regards.

The harsh light really picks out the texture in this image, very impressive.

It is very attractive and expressive portrait. Just right amount of details.Light a bit too strong on the forehead and top of the head.

let me add my compliments for one of your best works, Giuseppe

El thats an excellent portrait of you father you could it spot on with the time and appeture really excellent. You can cherish that shot. Perfect use of the natural light. Very well done, regards Carl

A good portrait work. The light also is good. Regards.

Excellent! It's all been said by those before me and I agree!

 

Best regards, Pamela

El, This is a very good portrait...other than what it represents for you personally, it is technically and aesthetically very appealing. To start the low camera angle adds prominence to his pose and stature. I really like portraits shot using short side lighting...this technique really adds character and depth to the image and helps define the person....the natural sun light here is great...wonderful highlights. I think finally the composition is really strong and having him only patially in the frame like this is perfect. Nicely exposed and nice PPing...this is already I'm sure a treasured heirloom. Well done. Jeff.

Great portrait El.Please convey my regards to your father.

Una de las magias, que tiene muchas, de la fotografía es que trasmita una historia. Una historia del fotográfo o una historia de los protagonistas de la fotografía. Una de las cosas que me gustan de tus fotos son esas historias que imagino al verlas. En esta en concreto imagino la historia de una vida, llena de recuerdos, es como si esa mirada fuera una mirada al pasado, como si clavada en algo que no podemos ver, estuviera viendo su pasado, su vida. Magnífica El, no dejas de sorprenderme.

 

Un saludo,

 

Luis.

Bellissimo ritratto: un tuo "insolito" cimento! Complimenti!...Ciaomau!

Un vero successo El! Complimenti a papà ed al suo fotografo! Ciao, Fabrizio

Thank you one by one for visiting. It is a great pleasure for me to read all your supportive comments - very kind. Thank you very much indeed. Best regards, El

I love this portrait, it reflects a respect and knowledge of the subject- not a casual capture. The masterful lighting captures a face that is intimate,warm, rugged, and proud. Regards. Denise

Hey El, very interesting and well-crafted portrait of a most intriguing subject. I'm wondering what he's thinking.

 

Cheers!

it's beautiful. you shot him so tenderly.

78! he looks more like 60 - I should look so good at that age. Well done. PN rules prevent me from doing justice to this - will check and see if I find it via another route.

Finally found it - Pn says I am not allowed to say how I rated it.

Fantástico retrato El! Con esta iluminación has destacado la sabiduría que solo se consigue con los años. Enhorabuena! y eso. Un abrazo, Luis

Amazing portrait full of inner life. Bravo El.

Very good portrait. Emotional work. Best regards.
