"They call me Osama of the slum... for a quarter you may take my photo and i'd buy a plate of hot soup..

Thank you for looking..

Great portrait! A little bit overshapened for my eye.

Great portrait. I think it's sharp in all the right places. Good tones, nice expression, interesting character.

Yes, it is oversharpened, and a bit overexposed, but apart from that, plenty of character is evident in this pic. I hope you took a few and gave Osama $10-00 for his troubles!

now this is GOOD. try a couple of the tech sugestions, wich i don't count when it comes to ratings, 7/6

Thank you for commenting on one of my photos and leading me to your excellent portfolio. The word that comes to mind in looking at your pictures is "painterly." I am impressed ny the composition and (sometimes ubtle) use of color. So few of your phtoos are of people that this one really stands out. It is loaded with characterand could have ben taken at any time and any place. To read that you used a Canon A60, really surprises me.

Impresionante retrato! Muy bien logrado, enucadre, definicion y tono excelentes. Su expresion es unica. Felicidades!

What a great expression!! I know all about the "pay to play". I do it all the time, mostly for the folks who play music and stuff.
