glance 2

I like this one even better!

The old master painters sure knew how to light a scene.  The only way we can be sure that this is indeed a painting is to include the frame for reference, so you did well by leaving that in your shot.  The guy standing is doing more than glancing, I feel.  He's taken more of a victory stance over the other prone subject. (his vanquished enemy?)  And I also don't think the other guy is doing any glancing other than at the back of his eyelids.  I think he's toast!  Gotta love the texture evident in the fleece your subject is wearing.  Just the way I see it.  Best, LM.

Just beautiful light and textures.  I love the man's expression.

Great! Wow! 

Andrea, the perfect lighted image seems to be three dementional..! Strong..! Great find in hirering that unique watching character..! :)

including the man in the corner as you have makes this photograph work enormously for me...

I think that the man on the RHS is creating the whole. It  has a nice humor on one side, and very good timing, light  and observation on the other side. Len well expressed the details. The next one has also  good timing and color palette.

The expression of the man is amazing and makes the photo of course. There is some sort of dialogue. This is a great work with light and shadow and it is something new and different from you. Excellent work, Andrea!

macchina nuova!

In Italia non ti fanno fotografare nei musei, come ci riesci con una D2x, che è un po' maestosa?

Questa foto è interessante per il quadro, ma il poverino nell'angolo tende a sparire. E' sbiadito come lo sfondo del quadro.

Ciao,

thanks everybody. Luca, i cant understand the reason, but the right side is darker on pn that on my screen, opening the photo with ps or other. E' la mostra su caravaggio a sant'ivo, ed è permesso fotografare.....

Colors, light and shadow, atmosphere, humor: an extraordinary image...tamarah

Well done, Andrea.

Take care,

Masterfully captured. Really creative cropping. Best regards.

tamarah, mario, sumon, is a pleasure to see you here. thanks!

Wonderful image, Andrea...brilliant lighting...most importantly superb color management to suit the mood of a medialval painting...very very nicely done...may be I am missing some important points from your image...my best

Beautiful photo! Looks like that man its going out from a painting on the touch of that warm light!

Very well done!

I like also, to make photos in museums with people, who looks at paintings.

Here, you had a great idea with a very good composition and execution !

Congratulations !

Best regards, Mircea

Lemme guess: Caravaggio !

Right ?!

Congrats ! 

cristina, kallol, mircea, florin, thanks ! this is a painting of Gentileschi, same years of caravaggio.. 

Andrea, great exposure and framing here. Fantastic how you got him. This is a keeper and I would like to see that kind as POW.

I like how the lines are flowing form Davids face down the arm, then the knee/leg to Goliath and finally to the 'center' of the image "the man" excluded from the painting by the frame.

And "the man" has to look up to David, in terms of size, beeing a Goliath for him.

Great composition of the art of painting and the art of photographing.

Ciao Axel

awel, thanks! and see you soon!
