Un retrato precioso, con un magnífico enfoque sobre los ojos
Saludos

Awesome eyes!

HI Paul, didn't recognise this as one of yours, its a different style from your normal stuff. It's quite a hard hitting portrait, and the processing is darker than I'm used to seeing from you - in some ways it reminds me of LJ's work. Very powerful.

Lee Jeffries. I never understood the obsession with his overly processed photos of homeless people. They usually look like freaks and all look the same.

I see nothing in this shot which reminds me of him. Perhaps a bit of Unsuono but not LJ.

Anyway here is an example:

Beautiful portrait, Keep up the wonderful work my friend!

Such detail. I love how crisp this shit is. I feel like I'm looking at this person in front of me.

Simple yet oh so powerful, gorgeous, emotional, and stunning!

Those blue green eyes are so piercing and powerful!

Amazing!

Congratulations on today's # 4 Explore shot, very well deserved indeed!

Great!

Such a wonderful portrait!

Beautiful portrait.

Hi, here's a link www.flickr.com/photos/16536699@N07/

LJ is, in my opinion, a superb portrait photographer. But in a much darker style. Yes he shoots homeless people , although not exclusively. In his portraits the eyes are the windows to the soul. Cliché description by me, but never truer.

I think your shot's powerful for the same reasons. The depth in the eyes is compelling.

The comparison was meant as a compliment. I'm not suggesting your subjects are freaks. There's clearly no similarity between your shot and the one has elected to post on your stream. Dig a little deeper and your find far better examples.

I am sorry, I got lazy. That was simply the newest shot at the time. There are some similarities with this one, indeed (although all of LJ's photos are black and white, I should note):

Still, for me personally, overly processed photos never lead me into someone's soul.
