koska 0 Posted April 20, 2002 An older gentleman playing on the street. His clothes are shabby, but he is always freshly shaved and has very nice manners. Please rate and critique. Thanks Link to comment
afs760bf 0 Posted April 20, 2002 Very nice portrait. Well framed, with enough environment to know he's playing on the street. I wouldn't mind waiting for an upstroke to get the other hand and the rest of the bow in the picture, but this is a great shot. Thanks for posting. Link to comment
koska 0 Posted April 21, 2002 Thanks for the comments guys. OK, I hear a lot of support for the other hand :), so I felt I had to react. Keeping the other hand out of the frame wasn't accidental. I did it on purpose. I thought that both hands would be too obvious, so I wanted to try something different. I thought it turned out pretty well, but now, when I read your comments... it makes me wonder... I'd like to hear more opinions on this... Thanks Link to comment
drabbat 0 Posted April 23, 2002 Nice light, nice background. I agree that an upstroke would have been better so that we could have seen both of his hands. Link to comment
pablo_kostic 0 Posted April 24, 2002 very nice, I think if you have taken both hands probably would have covered his face, it's ok for me. Link to comment
billmagee 0 Posted April 25, 2002 One hand, two hands? Not sure it really matters, either way would work for me. Nice composition and use of DOF, it really sets the mode. Great Snap! Link to comment
hique 0 Posted May 2, 2002 Good use of ps blur in the background, great composition and exposure. I don't miss the other hand, i think it's great this way. Link to comment
