Michiel, being Birdy

-

Good composition, colors and concept.

 

Very nice shot. A tad too sharpened on my monitor.

 

Cheers

Frank, this is a very interesting and powerful composition. I love the way you have emotionally balanced the space. There is a strong diagonal versus horizontal interplay in the composition that enhances the emotional content. One can imagine a diagonal line from the light source, passing Michiel's eye and continuing down his sloped back. The large blackened shadow on the left edge echoes and ties into his form. I like that!

Oh, yes! I remember the movie! Yes! You did it!

A strong portrait with beautiful natural light. I'm inclined to want to place him slightly. higher in the frame. (I don't recall the details of the Birdy posters...)

Frank, I doubt if Michiel would understand 'Birdy' at his tender age. That does not prevent this from being a powerful image. It encapsulates a certain quality of adolescence of which the protagonist is unaware, but one that a sensitive viewer is attuned to - a sense of awakened but yet unrecognised potentialities as well as present vulnerabilities. Really fine image. David

Great mood..lighting, and contrast. A beautiful portrait!! Very original and eyecatching. You have a wonderful portfolio! My kind regards

very well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting composition

raises all kinds of questions and is still pleasing to look at

Very well done. I really like the light and Michiel's faint shadow. I have no idea what what the movie Birdy is...guess I'll have to look into renting it. Thank you for sharing. :)
