A Portrait

The look of confidence.

Great contrast of background to subject. Exposure purrrfect, specially his top. Natural relaxed pose, not staring at cam. Me no complain, as they say in Thailand.

Nicely done.

Thanks Kathy, hi Thomas, long time no see. Nice to receive a rare compliment coming from you. Really appreciate your coming over here. Hope you are well.

Very nice sharpess for this portrait. Composition is good but not perfect to me. I think it is because of the angle of his body that I have this feeling. Anyways, it is really minor. Finally, I find that it is maybe a little too dark. But I would not change the background.

A painting through the lens. Great great take. All in the best. Rgds.

Nice study, it does look like a painting. Have you played with a watercolor filter with this image? I bet it would look excellent. I can't wait until my D200 arrives.

Thanks Stephane, Kaushik, Frank I'll try that and see if it works. Enjoy your D200.

stylish and cool...

Excellent use of DOF here Alec. It makes for a good separation and a very natural portrait

Excelente luz, color y belleza de este retrato, saludos cordiales Alec.

Very nicely done portrait, Alec!

really nice portrait shot, Alec.

Lighting and pose emphasize the tension between being calmly pensive while being aware and engaged and ready to act. This is not a passive man. I love it.

Very Nice Portrait

 

Very Nice...

Well worth coming back for another look. This is very nice Alec. And a very steady hand I think! Well made.
