The Hatman

Pierre, The hatman has many faces, like we all. Creative work. Best regards, Marco

Hey, Marco!

 

Thanks for coming first and for your witty, psychological and philosophical comment! Yes, all of us change faces, but the Hatman shows all his faces in a gro plan, wait and see, ha!

A beautiful result with his very nice expression, Pierre!

 

Hi Pierre! Your approach here, isolating the head in a deep black background, seems very interesting. By that means, you give extra strength to his face expression and gaze, achieving a better connection with the viewer. Personally, I get the feeling that this guy has serious mental issues...

Ha, ha, ha!

 

He has serious spiritual issues, Janaki! He's Aquarius and carries the burden of all humanity on his soul!

 

Thank you for the compliments for this poor guy!

Sorry Ruud,

 

I've omitted you for the second time in just two last pictures!

 

Thank you for your nice comment and please forgive me, my friend!

Dear Pierre,

This is wonderful...full of life, vitality even if the head is disembodied! Also, this has a feel of, as we say in the US, "in the moment" meaning not looking back, or forward but focusing on the present.

The hat is most dashing to be sure!

Very nice!

Tim

Hum, Timothy,

 

I only see a poor worried and feeling down man, even depressed and broken, maybe for a moment, from time to time he only looks suspicious and in deep thoughts! But when you say he's dashing he must be, you're the boss! The costumer is always right, ha!

 

Thank you for dropping by and leaving a nice comment!

Madman converted to bodyless hatman, Lol. I love your sense of humour Pierre. That said, its a superb portrait, cropping out the body gives more power against the dark background. Very detailed shot, excellent work Pierre.

Best regards.

Patrick

I'm glad you are satisfied with this photograph, Patrick!

 

Thank you for your visit and your thorough description of what you like about this picture!

Looking at him I get the impression that he is an evolved soul that knows how to make others evolve also throw pain and suffering, which is the only way we all learn, just like Fidel Castro with us! And I know that we all resent growing spiritually because it stretch us beyond our comfort zone! You are also an evolve soul that makes us think with your creativity. Warm regards my dear friend.

Dear Jorge!

 

What a wonderful comment full of philosophy of life and spiritual, one versus the other would be better to say!

 

Muchas gracias, mi querido amigo!

 

Abrazos

"mental issues" - h-m-m-m - I don't think so. We all know there is a fine line between genius and 'mental'' (*_*) and that face conveys genius to me.

 

Well captured. and a very Good shot!

The face I see now is much close to my surrounding and may be is easier for me to understand this Hatman – his feelings. Well, forgive me for these claims, my friend – this is too pretentious, but this is what I feel. I hope next Hatman will looks happier? Best regards.

E' un self portrait? Geniale! Ciao! Sergio

Tony,

 

About the fine line I don't see the matter that way, for example Van Gogh cut his ear, isn't that a completely looney business?! Yet, he was a genius! This guy also told that to some psychiatrist who said to him what you said, he said: There is no line, doc!

 

Thank you for your visit and interesting and nice comment, my friend!

Evgeni,

 

Everybody is crazy nowadays at our "vilaet"! The happier one I hesitate whether to show him here or not, ha!

 

Thank you for your comment which corresponds to my reply to Timothy!

 

PDE

Si, Sergio, e semplice geniale questa persona! Come me, ah, ah!

Mille grazie per la tua visita e la tua buona critica!

Ciao, amico mio!

 

PDE

Please, judge the technical quality, my dear colleagues! Thank you foryour attention!

His thoughts are race cars going round and round the brim of his hat!!

Nice picture.

Very beautiful job!!

Fantastic lighting here. A head floating in the blackness. Great portrait.  Nice hat!!   AJ

Ranga,

 

That's the most original comment I've ever heard!

 

Thank you my friend!

 

PDE

Alberto,

 

That's waht I wanted to hear, exactly!

 

Thank you, my friend!

 

PDE

AJ,

 

The lighting is more delicate than you might guess, my friend! There is a 32 LEDs ring flash and a white table lamp of 100W from the right side, exposure time 1/25 sec, f/2,8 at ISO 100! And there is a special technique to get a quite black background in the end!

Finally, I'm satisfied with the result and it's only problem to remember all that, cause there were a lot of wrong combinations!

Thank you for your visit and right comment, my friend!
