this is my favorite, twinkle in his eye and his lack of self-consciousness in his stance.

I love these! 7/7 on this one, too.

Great Photo!

this is very good!... and as I saw just now the whole folder is a fresh and challenging work.. beautiful!

This is very Rineke Dijkstra. Bravo!

The whole serie is great, and this image is probably the best. I really like the cool and humorous feeling of humanity.

7/7, for this one and for the serie!

Yours

 

Please take a look on the serie:

Thanks for your interest.

Great series as a whole!! 3 (or however many) of these framed together would just be fantastic! Really a fresh and unique study into people (I really wish I had the appropriate words)... Great courage in your work here! Wish I had even half this cool of work in my portfolio.

cant help looking at it, normally you dont like to look at a man like you know, this shape, but there is something about this picture which makes you look, which is funny!

Very nice to see photos of ordinary people...6/6.

I like this photo because it does not seem contrived. It could be anyone of us.

theo, also i picked up a photoshop technique from gary h sp that you might find interesting for photos like this to make subtle adjustments in lighting after the fact. if you go to filter-lighting effects-omni and play with the settings while in rgb mode, you can alter the lighting, such as on the face of this man. here's my example, take it as a suggestion, but this photo already in my mind is a 7/7, i use it only as an example of the technique cuz i do a lot of shots in the real world, where i can't control the lighting, and find it helpful.

here it is, cropped to show the face, with a little application on both eyes.

Thank you for your suggestion, but it goes way above my head. I'm not the best in digital adjusting. Still have to learn a lot in ps. One day I understand what you are trying to teach me. Regards, Theo.

 

Thanks to all for the comments.

 

this is phenomenal work. The word is phenomenal. Why anyone would consider altering the disarming humanity and charm of your series is totally incomprehensible.
