Baba

He is confined to a wheelchair and spends the entire day on the

pavement near a mosque. Baba smiled when I sought his permission to

take photographs.

Rajat this is a wonderful work. This is a shot that brings out the person. I like the way he is looking to you. Superb work. Khub valo. Regards.

Rajat, this is such a nice portrait. The face is expressive and communicates great feeling. The vignetting is superb and really concentrates the focus.

 

Really well done

 

My compliments, Bill

Thanks, Bill.

There's a lot of wisdom and goodness in Baba's eyes which make an irresistible impression that we have to do with an extraordinary man. Original post processing is the evidence that his life is full of light. Every inch an interesting portrait. Best regards -wm

Thanks Wieslaw

This is a very moving image. Well done

Thanks, Sue

Even if I would crop the lot of white all around this wonderful face, it is one of the best portrait I've seen here on PN. Congrats, Mauro.

 

The silly system doesn't allow me to rate as I want the picture. Come back next week for the 7/6 it deserve, imho. bye

Thanks Mauro, and I would not crop any more of this photograph for anything in the world.

Ok, "you are allowed" to crop not. :-)

 

Mauro

Great work! This picture tells a story

Rajat in my personal opinion this is your best portrait,

here without question there is clear communication between the two of you amounting to respect, your choice of a sepia over the conventional b&w has proved fitting giving I the viewer a sense of age & mysticism and the added blurring giving a surreal dreamlike quality.

 

Although Baba's left eye appears distant the right is as sharp as a razor and holds perhaps infinite wisdom.

 

 

Compliments

Hugh, so you have dropped by with a visiting card accompanied with a bouquet! Glad you could come.

 

Passing by, I observed him on a couple of occasions. Sitting quietly in his wheel chair on the pavement/sidewalk. He seemed so much at peace -- with himself, with the world. When I asked him if I could take a photograph and he smiled back, I was touched to the core by the radiance and serenity in that smile. In my proximity to him I felt his aura -- at once calming, soothing, good. Many days later I transferred the files from my camera to the PC and as this photograph (the original color version) splashed across the monitor I was again overwhelmed. For quite some time I just sat there looking at his image. I felt totally at peace...that is all that I aimed to transmit in this interpretation...

I am so happy to have met you! Your images are amazing! This one is very powerful and it conveys serenity and hope for acceptance of what IS!!! I was looking for an image to send you another expression of INQUISITIVA and I found a very impresive image. Abrazo.

she has a lovely expressive face -- thank You, Jorge

Wonderful and very good image - I like the high key treatment

thank you, Tony
