Another wonderful portrait to add to this series. Great B&W tones and composition. Like it a lot.

Thanks

Fantastic composition and color tone!

Beautiful, Joe. Very beautiful.

very good composition. Like the concentration, you got it at just the right moment. Great photo

Toning, mood , and atmosphere are very good.

Beautiful capture of light, beautiful capture of mood, and a beautiful application of framing.

 

The image is a masterful one. I can alsmost hear the high note struck. As usual, your portraits continue to inspire.

 

Best Regards,

P.S. - Ironically, a friend of mine recently bought the lens you used for this shot, and he loves it for portraits.

Thanks so much for taking time to comment.

 

(Ade, I love the 85mm, f/1.8. I use it constantly.)

Another winner in this lovely series. I particularly love the demarkation created by the wand. Oddly,the wand is steadier than his face, which strikes me as a reversal of what we might expect, in that the wand should be moving much faster than his head.

Thanks for taking a look. He was playing a slow piece, and the bow movement was restrained. At the moment I took this, I think he also moved the violin a tad. Thus the slight blurring of the bridge.

Of course this is beautiful, just as everyone has said, and as the others in the series. What strikes me the most, and it took me awhile to articulate, is how the skin on this musician, and the one playing penny flute, glistens with the passion of being one with his music. I'm torn about the rest of his violin... part of me wants to see just a touch of strings, yet I can easily see why you've presented it as you have. It's a wonderful shot. Warm regards, my friend.

Passion for music is so well captured here! Fine work Joseph! Your choice of B&W is perfect Thanks for sharing and kind regards, Doug.

Clever execution for wonderful rendering, Joseph p., just fabulous!!! Best regards

Excellent Joseph! Kind Regards Andrea

Bravo!

Joe, the timing of his inner concentration is wonderfully presented, very well framed his face, and I like the diagonal instrument part that adds a nice tension to the whole. very well used light and B/W in this one.

A wonderful expression of feelings.Well done!

Terrific moment in time, great lighting. Very expressive, thanks for sharing.

Very intense expression. The musician's soul is visible.

Just beautiful!

Great light and expression.

Really great shot. The light and the moment captured are fantastic. 7/7 but I can't
