PORTRAIT, EAST TEXAS

Thanks, Tandy. A week after looking at this portrait it is still inspiring me. I guess I have to rate it high and express my thanks.

you are a good pfotographer.your picture is great .my opinion : a catch-light in the eyes it was better in combination with your soft shadow place under the hat

A great shot. The subject connects with the viewer. Each detail in the face seems to have a story. The shadow and the centering are the only distractions - but I wouldn't risk changing a thing because it could ruin a truly wonderful photograph. As for the tight cropping; with a subject like this I prefer tight shots - get in their face!

TACK SHARP! GREAT EXPOSURE. WHAT CHARACTER IN HIS FACE! WONDERFUL PHOTO.

Very fine.

all in the eyes. love the shadow to the bridge of the nose but still keep the highlights in the eyes.

 

Tandy, Your picture of this man is stunning. Like most people here, I love the cropping and the man's interesting face-- very nice shot. I am interested in your use of Ilford HP-5. I have shot a lot with Delta 400 and Kodak's Plus-X. Are you still using HP-5?

The cropping makes this photo possible IMO... Subtle things like the chin being cropped just short tease you and draw you in closer. It makes your mind think about the possibilities. The longer you look the more it draws you in. Good job!

What a beautiful portrait. A nice tonal range shown on the face. It is the photo's like these, that makes people realize just how beautiful the art of photography is.

Any photo that generates this much interest and debate is worthy of the highest rating.

Your whole folder is amazing. You especially have an eye for portraiture that I only hope one day to develop.

Wow great eyes and face.
