[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The acts of men sometimes come so kind
And with such love do well express, yet
The deeds of men sometimes come so mean
And with great disgust is well despised.
These conflicts unresolved for times,
Someday, somewhere resolves to meet.

Mishap could be just a fair reward,
As life fortune is investment gained.
Opportunity could be just a means,
As occurrences are results obtained.
The pendulum swings to and fro,
Just as the clock ticks, tock and tick.

What goes on around and again,
Does come back again and around
Good or bad, it's all our choice,
For all our thoughts and acts today,
Are investments in the big game plan
Of this unfinished business of life.

This is a man from Old delhi, i have converted this shot in to black and white then applied a little softness on the face and adjusted levels and tones.

Manuj Mehta

Hi my friend...
Beautiful b@w portrait with so great expression...

Hi Manuj,
Another very good B&W portrait. You certainly have a skill for street photography. Lucky you got him to look towards the camera, the details look great. His hair blends into the background a bit, but the use of the blur tool has helped to make him stand out a bit better. Well seen and captured.

TFS,
Scott.

The softening effect really changes the feeling of the shot - it takes away some of the harsh, stark textures that are trademark to your work, and somehow gives it a much more compassionate feeling. It suits his expression, in my opinion.

Hello, Manuj -
Another amazing subject, and this portrait has a wonderful artistic feel with the deep shadows around his head and the light on his rough clothing; the PP work gives a dream-like soft glow to the scene. He has an intense gaze. Excellent work, my friend.

Hi Manuj,
What an expression on this man's face!
And what a presentation! You managed to bring forth his fatigued eyes from the darkness of his face!
Great contrast and, as usual, the grey tones are there present!
Fabulous work adorned with adequate lighting and sharpness is impeccable.
You're the King of B&W and you're the real artist!
Congratulations my friend, I always look forward to see your work.
Good luck.

Manuj you have realy done well here grt details in the mans face and you have caught the look of his eyes as usuall a other excellent portrait from you
tfs regards bryan

Dear Manju,

Not only have you captured a fantastic POV and expression; you have captured a triangular light effect like no other. This is B&W portraiture at its best and I cannot find anything to critique here. A-CLASS!

Warmest Regards,

Dilshan

Boa tarde amnuj

dear Manuj mehta,
his side looking eyes are impressive,
quite like looking here from dark bottom of his mind...
or like looking at his unlucky future imagined from his dogma now...
anyway his dark face on white wear is something like classic painting portrait.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hi Manuj,
You did a very good work with your post-treatment on this portrait! The softness you applied give more humanism sense at this glance! The play of light and shadows is superb! Congratulations! Annie
