Violin 2

Words cannot describe the emotion felt while looking at this photo. A rich story is just waiting to pop up from this photo.

i dont have enough time to read aaaaaalllll this comments but this picture deserve so many...its realy great-.... u r taking pictures for less then a year? so it semms u r very talented ;-)

I love it, composition, light, focus, none distracting background

I have looked at everyones comments and it just brings happy tears to my eyes.

I have received so many emails about the picture and received such support and encouragement it has made me feel so emotional.

Tomorrow we are going to try and find this man and give him pictures and show him all the wonderful comments.

 

I wanted to ask advice, I have been approached by several people who want to mass produce this image. I am an amateur and am not experienced in the commercial field of photography at all. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I would really appreciate it.

 

What is also quite interesting is that I received lots of emails about the other picture of this man that I posted a short while back. Quite a few people prefer the other photo. If I was was going to produce 'the print' I would need to decide which one to do.

The url of the other is:

Thank you again to you all, the feedback has been amazing and I will never forget it.

Very emotive, superb contrast.

It's all been said already ~ a once in a lifetime shot! Marvellous work!

7/7 - true perfect

Ëxcellent portrait of a man who really loves playing his instrument. Good composition, good contrast. Perfect.

Hi Bridget, everyday when I wake up, the only thing I think is to check this photo and read the comments. Sometimes, after I go home, I feel so much missed about this picture and comments. I return to school and check it again. But about choosing between these two pictures. The first one is more real and emotional, however this one is more beautiful and more technical, the only problem is the ARC which is upside down. I suggest you choose the first one.

 

This is the other picture, for voters convenience.

I love this and I love you being able to give such emotions. thanks

This picture touched my heart and I find it beautiful.

Wonderful model. I like the depth of field with enough light in the background to add texture. This portrait tells a story. Excellent.

Excellent!

excellent

You ask for our advice? My advice is that we learn from you! You appear to have an artist's inspiration and the photographer's skill. You have come close to capturing the musician's soul in a photograph. I think what I am seeing is perhaps a reflection of your own.

THis picture has character!His music is his world

i can hear his music wonderful !

Wow... everything about this photo works. The composition in particular is very powerful. He seems to be really into his work as well! Very unique looking subject.

From a wizard from Lord of the Rings - he weaves magic an music - enchanting us in the moment. You have the eye an gift -hope you catch the breaks an stand with the giants of film.

 

Wonderful image just so full of emaotion and movement. This is one of those timeless photographs that simply, sharply and effectively draw the viewer in. Excellent job!

Superb ..

Very impressive picture with great emotion ... and very weel composed (tones, light, ..)

I do prefer the second one, more focused on the expression of the violonist ... But both are great !!

One of my favourite on the site ..

a ghost playing

You've captured his passion. I love the violin, and the sound it makes is just shown in his face. moving to his creative expression of emotion. i love it

Superb light composition and expression.
