celasun 0 Posted August 23, 2010 This is an outstanding portrait of a gentleman.And, thanks for the info you have provided, which puts this into a context nicely...Do you have any idea about the peculiar hair styling, by the way? Is it just an aesthetic choice or does it have a religious connotation as well? Link to comment
AJHingel 127 Posted August 23, 2010 A photo including all the symbols of bringing up an orthodox jew in all his mighty. Very well shot. The bride left, I see. Link to comment

andrea allison 0 Posted August 23, 2010 Wonderful Wedding series Pnina . I really like the atmosphere the warm lighting gives. You seem to of caught this handsome fellow in a deep thought. Kind Regards Andrea Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted August 24, 2010 Love this one, Pnina. His orthodox curls and yamulke are in such contrast to his elegant white tuxedo. That formal black yamulke really caps off the picture (no pun intended). Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 24, 2010 Alain ,Jorg , and Danny, thanks.Donna, fits exactly ...;-))Grigoriy , thanks as wellBulent, It certainly has an ultra religious connotation.It is part of this community, the wedding was photographed at.Thanks for liking this sweet gentleman ;-)). His hat ,kippah in Hebrew ,has a Jewish polish origin and also a Turkish one Yagmurluk....Anders, it was an orthodox wedding as you know, it is natural I think that the education( including everything) will fits the way of community life.( the bride was there in another corner...Amal, he was so sweet, I could not pass the opportunity to photo him.Alberto, Keith, Gunnar and Linda., thanks for the feedbackJack, it is a sweet beauty of a child .I think the yarmulke go's well with the black tie.;-)) ,see my answer to Bulent.

sideris 0 Posted August 27, 2010 What a beautiful little gentleman! I am astounded by the accuracy of this composition. You, again, giving us a class. Link to comment
Alex 0 Posted August 30, 2010 Compositional I think is a remarkable image. I like everything about it his gaze and neatness; the whole traditional concept trully shows. You did a fenomenal job.Although you might have intended leaving the color cast, in my opinion it is too worm. I believe it takes away a bit of that neatness specially on the clothing that is meant to be white.I hope you don't mind (if you do let me know I'll remove right away) I cooled down the picture with a bit of curves.Best regards to your great picture I bet the parents will be proud of it.Alex Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 30, 2010 Carlos, Thanks for your feedback ,and such a compliment. It is very much appreciated coming from you! Alex, thanks for taking the time, it is well done. I intentionally left the bright yellowish color palette in all of them , because it was the real light in the room, and by keeping it ,it gave unity( IMO) to the series as a whole. The last tradition trio, only the first was taken in the room ( nearly out of it), and the other two in the yard, and they are having a different light. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted September 1, 2010 I've now viewed all 13 photos in your wedding series and my favourite is still the candid portrait of the rabbi. This one, for me, occupies a close second place though, resonating with me probably because this young man is about the age of my oldest grandson (7). I like the unseen contrast here knowing that tomorrow he'll probably don his play clothes and return to his natural carefree element. In the meantime his serious expression demonstrates a concern for the sacredness of the occasion. I just hope he was able to relax and let loose during the fun part of the affair. Like Alex, I too played with this one in Photoshop, experimenting with different colour balances and contrasts but in the end concluded that your presentation is best. As you've said, continuity of light in all images is important. Kind of holds things together. This also lends itself well to a b&w conversion. (À la Meir Samel) Best, LM. Link to comment
