This is also a strong photo! The focus of his stare is intense. It is as if he isn't even aware of another person at his shoulder. Thanks for sharing this folder with us.

EXCELENT SHOT, VERY SHARP AND VERY WELL CAPTURED.

Peter, this was shot on Nikon d70 and then converted to b/w :), so no contact sheet :)

Ok.....I've just seen this on the Discovery channel. This guy has got the world record for being in freezing water for an hour without moving. So cool that you got to see this. His face is a look of full and complete consentration.

very peaceful

Good he had his hat on otherwise he might have cought a chill1

Fantastic capture 7/7/ i have seen it on the news too!

FrancescoM .Were you there or is it from a tape?

 

Ofcourse I was there - I was taking photos for Russian newspaper that I work for - Kommersant. I don't think you can make tape screenshots look this good :)

Of course, i am sorry if you thought i implyied forgery..i was just innocently curious...but i realise now it might be grossly missinterpreted and would cast doubt over your work! Sorry!

FrancescoM

I never took it seriously, don't worry :)))

Pictures really are worth a thousand words. This is a very captivating image and does not even need a story to accompany it. I am curious though, what do the Russian letters on his forehead mean?

The letters say "peace". He was doing this for the sake of peace.

Nice shot Mickael, Do you remember what lens you used?

I think is was 18-70 - kit lens for nikon d70.
