Excellent work here.

I truly like both of them, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick your original version. It "speaks to me" more than the blue, my friend.

Art encompassing or capturing Art. Nice shot. Great isolation on the subject via shallow DOF. Excellent composition.

Your title says it all. Thanks for your comments on some of my portraits earlier in the week.

Best regards,

-Ade

Thanks. I do like your version with the additional noise. Gives it some extra character.

:-)

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Long time, friend. Hope all's well with yah. Love this photo. Am curious to know how you put this together. Do share when you get a chance.

Best regards,

-Ade

Long time, brother.

Hope all's well. Love the color offseting going on here. The color isolates your B&W man in the pic. Great work as usual on your part. I'd blow this up and hang it.

Awesome!

Cheers,

-Ade

Great lighting for dramatic effect. As usual, a superb piece of work.

Best regards, sir.

You hit a grand-slam in the bottom of the 9th inning with this one....simply beautiful. The POV is great but the vibrant colours are what complete this visual for me, IMHO of course.

Truly excellent composition and color treatment.

Best regards,

Your friend, Ade.

An elegant composition. Love the interplay of light & shadow. Would love to see this in B&W. As usual, execellent work, my friend!

Best regards!

-Ade

A great capture here. B&W is befitting the composition. The pianist in his early years, honing his skills.

Nice.

Excellent portrait. Love the off-set cropping/composition. Nice grain photoshop work.

A brooding, menacing & formidable image. I thoroughly love it. It almost seems like a whirlpool or water typhoon of sorts, is starting to form in the foreground.

Excellent work.

Cheers,

-Ade

Wow.

One of the best still life shots I've ever seen, IMHO. You can almost taste the onions or garlic(not quite sure [;-D], and feel the twine.

Excellent work!!

Best regards,

I can just hear Gabriel's wheels turning as he ponders this great question:

"Hmmm...whose style do I wanna practice today?

Pele?.......Schumacher?.....Ronaldo?................

Kalu?.........Maradona?.......Chrisantus?..Pato?..

.my word......decisions, decisions!".

A true classic example of a still life documentary shot, telling multiple stories on multiple levels, and capturing life as it occurs.

Great stuff!!

Regards,

-Ade

Long time, hope all's well with you. I've been away from PN for some time, but I'm trying to get reinspired to post more by visiting some of my favourite PN member porfolios.

This is simply beautiful.

Best regards,

-Ade

Haha...:-)

Way ahead of her time by decades, I would say. I love this composition, and the way the shallow DOF target her and blurs out the folks in the back ground. Excellent composition, my friend.

Thanks for your comment on my red,red wine shot. Much appreciated.

Best regards,

-Ade

Yep.......now you've gone and done it. I feel like going to the zoo to take some shots!!

Awesome capture. As usual, your sense of colour & composition shines through. A beauty here.

Cheers,

Night photography is a genre I need to do more of. This is quite a delight to the eyes in terms of the play of colours between the blue night sky, reflections from the quay, and the land lights. Very well seen.

Thanks for your comment the other day on my 4 jugs image. Being a wine tasting, there really wasn't much set up work I could do. I was moving around a lot shooting portraits of the attendees. Off-camera flash was not much of an option, unfortunately. I bounced the light of a bounce card attached to my camera speedlight for most of the night.

Best regards,

-Ade

Dramatic..........Ominous...........Powerful............and Inspiring.....all at the same time. Excellent piece of work.

Thanks for your suggestion to change the orientation of my 4 jug image. I'll give it a shot. My best regards to you and your family, brother.

Cheers,

-Ade

I've enjoyed viewing your silhouette shots for some time now. This is a another pretty cool shot. It really does come across as a moment of silence or pause for a prayer. The barbed wire is a nice touch as well.

Well seen!

Cheers,
