Through the eyes of the past

My first portrait. What do you think?

bit under exposed for my likings, but a good first try. interesting subject and a good tight crop.

6/6

Great shot for the first portrait!

Thank you very much for your comments. Indeed I've under exposed it while making it sepia to increase the contrast of the shapes on his face.I prefer it this way.

I was thinking of putting it on the street folder, as it was shot on the street; now I think I made a good choice to consider it as a portrait.

 

 

 

Excelent portrait!

No doubt, this is a portrait, not a street photo. I think street photos are photos which show scenes in the street. A portrait can be made in the street, it remains a portrait. This one is excellent moreover. I like the two versions. On the darken one, the look of the old man seems more dramatic, or worried than on the other.

Great shot.

Excellent shot and subject. Did you intentionally leave out detail in the left eye? I think dodging a bit here might alter the mood... not sure for the better or not.

it wasn't intentionally.. and I've tried your method... but the result was not a thinking man but a bilnd man :D

Mihaela,

thanks for visiting and appreciating my work. I consider this your best shot. If this is your first portrait, you have the eye for it. Very good composition, texture and light. Felicitari,

7/6

Mihaela, I like this portrait. Good sepia tones and tight crop. The eyes could show a tad more detail/light. Rina

This crop works better than the first one. And the sepia tone adds some texture. Well done, girl!

excelent portrait...
