Apiarist...Please read comment

I have met him working near the beehives, sourounded by them, and the Mediterranean sun........ here is an example..

 

Thanks for your thoughts, Pnina

Thanks, Pnina

Nice light and the expression. Great mood capture. Congrats.

I'm don't like the shadows on his face but I do like the face nontheless.

Excellent portrait Pnina.best regards

The Old Testament refers to Israel as the Land of Milk and Honey. This metaphor suggests comfort, sweetness, and peace. I like the portrait of him with good shadow and lighting. Shalom to Israel.

Pnina I like how the light comes from the side,his thoughts remain in the shade. wonderful human beeing expression.Nice to see him gathering with the bees,part of nature

To all of you!

 

Spencer, You know seeing hime I thought as you, about a country of "milk and honey"... from the bible.

 

The man is from a religious settlement not far from Tel- Aviv. Pnina

Pnina, I love the full shot of this man that you included! The pose, the way he is looking over....

Excellent portrait, Pnina. Good use of light and shadows. The expression is grate. (Deep thoughts).

I thought he was a monk, Pnina. Very neat portrait and interesting face.

Sarah, I have some others as well, it was an opportunity that does not come every day....Thanks

 

David and Paula, thanks.

 

Paula, he is religious, and very much so,( but not a monk...)

 

Pnina

Pnina, You always seem to capture at least a part of the essence of your subject personality in your informal portraits. There seems to be an unusual gentleness in this fellow,and he seems to be more interested in others than most......Jim

I thought about a monk too. Very sad face he has indeed ... but that makes the strength of his expression.

Jim, I don't know the man, it was a random meeting, but I think that you are right in your assesment of him, he was so very

nice and helpful.Thanks

 

Thanks as well Lionel . Happy holidays and new year,to both of you Pnina

Great portrait of this bushy beard man. Good use of the light too.

I can see how he concentrates on the task - he is taking care. Good detail and lighting under tricky conditions.

I find the lighting a little harsh, but I suspect that making this sepia may work. There isn't a whole lot of color anyway, so it wouldn't detract anything there, imo.

My kind of photograph. Well captured.

Thanks Cherlyn Colin, and Howard.

 

Kim, I was going home when I met him nearly mid day, the sun too high, and strong mediterranean light, but it was a special opportunity, and I took what was possible, I tried it in sepia, and brighten it a bit, but I like the original. thanks for stopping by.

 

Pnina

Superb details & lighting, and nicely crop Pnina! Yes, I like the great layers of the original . Best regards.

Between the sepia and the colour version, I prefer the latter Pnina. Who knows maybe a black and white version could work too. I like the close-up image and the lighting Pnina.

Thanks Richard and Amar, It is nice to know that you too like the original, that man looked as having such a " colored" personality.... Pnina

 

I like the original too Pnina, it seems more expressive somehow. Very nice portrait of this keeper of buzzybeeeeeees!!!!

Thanks Em'lie, I met him accidently for a short time but he was real nice . very colorful man. Pnina
