ALASKAN GOLD MINER

I met this friendly and cheerful miner in the small Canadian town of

Stewart, located in North Western British Columbia by the Alaskan

border……………..

From Stewart, somebody enters Alaska USA at the small village of

Hyder, from where a dusty mountain road, passing through impressive

wilderness, leads to many abandoned and working gold mines.

……………..(please, full screen view is recommended)………………….. Your

critique will be much appreciated…….… Many thanks.

Wonderful facial expression, full of optimism and positive attitude and really strong eye contact. Great beard and shining teeth details enrich the overall impact of this excellently captured portrait. Congrats, Karolos.

A beautiful portrait. Good use of flash.

Regards.

Great detail and colour rendition - flawless work, as usual.

Un buen retrato, natural y expresivo. Saludos

Very nice portrait with excellent detail and very good use of light. I also like the facial expression. Congrats.

wonderful portrait of this man enjoying life.

It"s a fantastic shot, and I see you have many great portraits ... congrats ... you seem to have a wonderful communication and effect on your models.

For this one, however, altough it's great, I'm convinced it has much more potential. Just some experimenting with the levels allready is - in my humble optic - leading very simply to much more impact.

How much for wich channel is of course personal taste, but I found a good result with

- RGB : white slider untill 211

- Reds : center slider lowered to 95

- Blue : white slider up to 241

With respect, no critic, just personal opinion ... Piet
