Cuban Fisherman [Runner-Up in the British magazine Digital Photo's July competition (part of the Photographer of the Year competition), please see the August 2006 Issue]

the same Cuban fisherman as the other shot just recently submitted

to PN - I think there is something in his eyes which tells about his

life.. what do you think? he had been smoking (cigar of course ;-)

for some 70 years...

Fantastic. Good crop, wonderful detail..incredible shot. I only wish I could take portraits like this. Eyes seem a little over-sharpened?

Fantastic.

I like the eyes. Maybe a little too sharpened but it appears fine to me. They (eyes) certainly have stories to tell I'm sure. I like this very much! Great job! 7/6

Excellent portrait

Great portrait. Very well done.

Looks like fire and water to me.

Very very cool! I love the contast and detail. this would look amazing as a large Fiber print. :)

A very effective framing and interesting portrait. I would prefer a milder interpretation with more subtle contrast and edge enhancements. Closer to what I bielieve the reality was, and yet a very strong image. But surely an invitation to make portraits. Congrats. Bertrand

excellent...(but I would like to see his right ear, too, but then it would be quite traditional "old man"-shot, I guess)

Ineresting face. I'll have to say that the crop near the eye, the square that isn't really a square and the big white area are imo not the best choices in terms of aesthetics, but it's still nice and impactful, thanks mostly to the man's features and expression. Regards.

Excellent, strong portrait!

Heisann!

 

M堳i det igjen jeg! VELDIG BRA

 

Rett og slett s堤igger jeg dette bilde!

striking! One of the very best portraits I've seen on this platform. Cheers,

Very impressive man/portait and dramatic in B&W!

Absolutely brilliant street portrait. Amazing detail, I like the off centre composition, really love this one - in fact one of the best portraits on photo.net - I think you are very talented.

I like this picture. It tells a story. 7/7

I really like this subject for a portrait and the way you've captured him. Nicely done.

I do find the crop a little awkward. While some of his face is cropped, there's a great deal of white on the right with competes for attention while gazing at the the subject's face. The eye has a tendency to go to the brightest part. Still a 6 for the portrait.
