Thanks for your impressions.

Thanks

Delightful. Such spaces often have awkward lighting, but in this case it contributes to the sense of sitting nearby and watching him practice. It's intimate, and casual (and what beautiful instruments!).

Hi Pnina, Excellent character study....So very sharp on the hair and texture in the sweatshirt.......Will email some good news about Tony,soon......Jim

Lovely capture. The light and details are exquisite against the ornate background.

Very soft feel with beautiful lighting and romantic details.

Pearl, great shot with very nice lighting and detail. And I never knew that a viola de gamba had so many strings!

Pnina, excellent light and expression. Much enhanced by the background.

I like the feel and I can almost hear the music. Nice work Pnina. Regards, Doug

What a fine and lovely image. (A fine title, as well.) Warm regards...

I love the lines in the shot, which create a sense of rhythm. The prop to the piano lid paired with the neck of the cello(?). The arc of his arm paired with the arc of the piano in the background. A lovely melding of man and music.

all of you.Very much appreciated your contribution

 

Gerald, vioila de gamba can have between 3 - 6 strings...

 

 

Jeff, it is a Viola da gamba, it is the right name of it...,smaller in size than a cello. The BG, is the wing of a beautiful chembalo.

Well chosen bg for the musician. His engrossment is well captured from his serious eyes & expression.

Very good composition,exposure and light,Pnina. Excellent series on musicians.

The concentration of the cellist is great. Perfect title for this capture, Pnina. Regards!

Great capture of the concentration on his face!Nice colourtones.

Cheers,Jim

I had cut away for the left side and had extended the space for right. It is everything opposite of what is in the habit of being done but in my humble opinion the photo still would have been better.

A greeting.

He looks focused and intent. Nice capture.

I like this double portrait, but the emotion is made by his eyes and especially his musical fingers. Well done as so often when it comes from you Pnina.

Appreciate all your remarks, and feedback..

 

Pep, thanks for your point of view, I appreciate it!

 

Anders, glad to see you here, Hope all is well.

Excellent composition of the space... and beautiful capture under stage light!

Your strong point - to mediate the mental layer behind.

As you always follow the light, so you have here with the musician's hand and fingers and the strings highlighted the most... the musician's point's of focus, too. And his face mostly in shadow adds a nice drama to his intensity. I also like the bright strut of the chembalo that echoes the position of the Viola de gamba. I've never seen a stringed instrument with an actual head carved on the head piece like this one. No surprise it is the head of a woman, and she has curly hair like the man who is holding her so gently. This image is a treat to the eye in many ways.
