NAda mas ver esta foto, la he aumentado de tamano para poder verla mejor (lo cual significa que sin duda ha captado mi atencion)..me gusta el fondo plano en color negro..pero me gustaria verlo asi todo (en la esquina superior derecha se intuye algo..). El color fenomenal!

me gustan los colores y la luz, le das realce a lo que el señor sostiene, mas sin embargo creo que pudiste componer la imagen quizas centrando un poco mas al sujeto
=D

Una vez más le da "caracter" a la toma el hecho de retratar un momento "atípico" o por lo menos lejano al común de los mortales.

Sobre la foto en si, que voy a decir, que es una pasada, el rostro del personaje principal es acojonante, y el controno que le da la oscuridad le da una calidad indescriptible.

Sobre el encuadre no entiendo mucho (a juzgar por las críticas que lanzasteis sobre mis fotos), pero me gusta, me gusta el desequilibrio como vía de llegada al equilibrio...

Puntuacion 9,5/10 (para el grupo www.flickr.com/groups/analizamifoto/)

hey thanks to all!
@Eva yes I was really lucky, and I have more treasures to post :)

@nicola grazie

@ lobinto, yosigo, imolagar, angelferd y manuelpomezni: gracias por el analisis. He estado dudando mucho si oscurecer el fondo a la Izquierda o no, haré la prueba y lo subire. Por lo de centrar en cambio, no creo qu me guste, pero lo probaré tb.
saludos,

like the drama - his face is great but a bit of blur of the large view. granted you want us to also see the treasures. Lovely shot with excellent background.

Some nice sharp details and some not so sharp.The white of his robe is excellent and the background so black! Not sure how long his treasures were but shame they were cut off.

I don't want to say anything more about this other than it's flippin excellent, and that it's a tad oversaturated and I would have liked to see the whole book. Less zoom to preserve the empty space on the RHS. Totally well done, totally interesting, still very high marks!

Im not sure less zoom is the oint, i really want to see the rest of the book but for me its the whole composition that works, his face, that white, the light, the background.

Its a scene and interpretation of the scene is part of the art. I like this basically, a lot.

Siguo pensando que esta imagen està echa muy bien, composicion, luz, sobjecto... tiene una historia entre el "silencio" que los ojos de este hombre tranmite..
