people and portrait Artist @ Harshabardhan Road

Please see the other one in this folder. Portrait on the street. Oil painter forced

to paint license plates. Thank you for any comments and suggestions.

I think this one is better in regard of just one detail, that's the white thing on the wall "standing" on the forehead on the other one! Only that detail makes some difference in the quality of these two otherwise equally well done pictures!

Thank you Pierre. I appreciate all your comments on my pictures. They help a lot to see.

Hi Indraneel:

I like this one the best. I can see a little bit better what he is painting. He seems more intent and focused. As well, his head is not partially covering an object on the wall, which distracts from his face.

This is a great subject, composition, colours and light. There is a story in what he is doing plus what is hanging on the walls.

I really enjoy your work. Giving us two perspectives to compare helps me formulate what I hope is a constructive critique. Thank you for sharing.

Regards, John

Thank you John, your comments are helpful. I have weird tastes, and these comments help me figure out just how far out I am...

This was the 4th and final shot, the other one was the first and it has a sharper focus. By the time I got to this (about 10 seconds), I forgot about the composition and focus, and just wanted to capture the artist's emotions as well as a glimpse of the painting. He is actually more relaxed in the 1st shot, and got a bit tense by the time I clicked this. He didn't mind, though.

of the two this one works better because his head is cleanly against the wall and we can see a little more of his painting
