Violin

This one is terrific. I cannot decide which I like better. Your whole portfolio shows so much talent. Congratulations on your well deserved award as POW! Print them, yes!! I hope you get feedback on how to get your career launched. There are people on photo.net who could help, I am sure. Best of luck!

I prefer this picture to the other of the same person, it seems to be more about his music, very evocative, perfect timing, framing, depth of field and exposure. Colour and black-and-white seem more or less equally good to me. Black and white perhaps looks more timeless, more archetypal, reinforcing the timeless posture and intent of the fiddler. Extremely good photos, inspirational.

I prefer the latter picture, mostly because of the less distracting background. This is another beautiful shot, and i'd be wowed if i hadn't seen the other before hand. Great work, and best of luck

"Comment le noir et le blanc vont parfois plus avant dans l'ame que la peinture (photographie), et comment, ne prenant au jour que ses differences de clarté, un ouvrage reduit à la lumière et aux ombres nous touche, nous rend pensif, plus profondement que ne le fait tout le registre des couleurs, je ne sais trop me l'expliquer". (Paul Valéry)

Sorry to write this comment in English is too difficult (if you don't understand French kindly ask someone to transale it for you).

What to say more?

.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very nice. Just the right balance of.......everything!

Moving Photo, very focused, intense concentration, I love the B&W. Thanks for sharing.

Passionate passion. I think the two versions of this picture (I mean the other one you have in your portfolio, not the color one) are striking. It makes you want to be this person, to have his passion. We all have a comon passion among us, photography, and you have showed again that photography can capture these feelings we could pass by on our everyday basis. Not only that, but the passion showed by the subject draws you into the image even further. Great caption.

Very expressive! I like this variant more than another one, wich were recognized as "best work of a week".

I can assume, that he is plaing Bela Bartok:)

Hello.

My congratulations on the exquisiteness of this picture. I was wondering whether you could provide us with some background information on the character in your photo.

Is he still alive? Who is he? Is music his life? What is his name?

 

Thank you.
