Reading a poetry

bellissimo ritratto ma non sicuro dello sfondo...saluti amico mio.

Good idea. The subject got out of focus to the back of the reader, giving him more expressiveness. Regards.

Maurizio, really gorgeous renderings with great DOF & light, nice expression, attitude, perfect composition & tonality, very well done for amazing results!     Best regards 6.

Wow. Looks like he has wings.

Beautiful and romantic portrait!

Intensa espressività e buona illumivazione!

I like posture of this man that fit so well with title you did.

Maurizio,

You offer me a lot to contemplate. What did the man read and are we sure it was poetry? May be he just finished his speech and just closed the book. But what is that movement behind his back, there is another person and I am missing some more detailed information. Is this hostile? The hand is enormous enlarged, I cannot know whats going on. Or has the person in the background nothing to do withe the reading? Interesting image!

Kind regards,

Herman

Dear Herman, the actor was reciting the last verses of a poetry that he had finished reading. But is it so important to know then who was and thing he was really making the character behind whom he was reading the poetry? The art is a dream that the author offers to whom looks, then each can interpret it according to his own unconscious. I wanted to use a time for accenting the movement of that hand for "to endow" of a wing the actor that read the poetry, because poetry I feel that it raises the spirit of whom reads it and of whom listens to it. THanks, my friend, always for your attention on my photos.

Thank you Maurizio for explaining your work more in detail and in fact the interpretation is more influenced by the mindset of the spectator. My overall appreciation as a very good b&w image is still there from the first sight.

Best regards,

Herman
