Nuliya

Your comment/suggestion will be very much appreciated. Thanks. A B&W

version is also uploaded for your preference.

A B & W version.

Beautiful lighting. A striking portrait.  The color-effect and the horizontal format made the composition dramatic. Regards.

Nice portrait. The thoughtful mode is striking. I would prefer the  color version.

Best Regards

Nice potrait.But here I think the colour tone is a bit warm (may be due to my monitor).I liked the B/W version rather.

My best regards.

Buen color. Pero yo prefiero la version b/w. Saludos

Amal -- A very nice portrait of Nuliya indeed! I personally like the colored version and its crop better. (& the B&W feels a bit too tight for me) Although I like the soft yellow ( early evening?) light, I wonder what would happen if you were to desaturate it just a tad..? (I feel that the yellow hue is a bit too strong...)  I very much like the mood you captured in your photo nonetheless. Kind regards to you, Marjolein

Although it needs some 'air to breathe' I prefer the b/w version because of the sharpness and and tonality  achieved. Compliments Amal!

Very strong photo. Love it.

Regards. Cosmin

GREAT portrait, A.K. The expression...priceless. Well done, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

Really beautiful work with very nice lighting, Amal!

Thank you very much for your appreciation.

Kallol, your monitor is O.K.Perhaps I am becoming colour-blind. Many thanks for pointing out the loud colour of the sand. Unless you point out my mistakes, how shall I learn.

 

Marjolein, it was early morning. The fisherman was gazing at the sea. The background colour is that of sand. Many thanks for your  suggestion. I tried to desaturate the color. Is it better now?

El, thank you very much for your observation & suggestion. I am uploading another image, with more breathing space.

Me too I prefere the bw version,the portrait looks better so,regards.

You have recieved already good advices.I like as well the B/W , even though the colored is nice also. Very nice portrait in a thougtful momentt.

Un retrato excelente y dos magníficas versiones. 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

The slight desaturation was a good idea. Not only did it soften the background but it revealed more of the face which I thought was a bit muddy in the original version.

Always beautiful!!

For me both versions are appealing. Nicely done!

You do a wonderful job with your portraits, they are as it is here very original and very well obtains sharp details of the face which shows the sort of life the person been to, you also master your exposure value and given to this man in particular the proper atmosphere of his existence.

Thank you for sharing it my friend and wishing you all of the best.

Hi again, Amal -- I think that it does look better.  Although I personally would go even a tad more :-)   (But that's just my personal feeling & I totally understand if one doesn't agree with that)  I hope that you don't mind my upload of this version; I desaturated (just the yellow tones) by - 15)   Best regards, Marjolein

A.K.,

  Wonderful portrait with great lighting.  I like both b/w & the color version.  A photographer with many talents.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

I like the color version also Amal, I seem to see more character of this many's face, very well composed and presented.  most sincerely, Gail

Thank you very much for your feedback
