[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ethics cannot be based upon our obligations toward people, but they are complete and natural only when we feel this Reverence for Life and the desire to have compassion for and to help all creatures insofar as it is in our power. I think that this ethic will become more and more recognized because of its great naturalness and because it is the foundation of a true humanism toward which we must strive if our culture is to become truly ethical.


friends
This has been shot in a street of delhi, its a tea stall and this gentleman is sitting outside the shop on a bench. the light was in the way that he could only illuminated by it. i have shot this in colour and then converted it in to B/W.
i hope you'll like it

regards
Manuj Mehta

Hi Manuj,
Nice photo, great use of the available light. This looks really good in B&W. I may have cropped a little more off the top, but your composition is very good here. Looks nice and clear too, well done mate.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Manuj

I like the tri-layer here that almost mirrors the receding tonal range, with light in front, frey in the middle, & dark at the back. Good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Hello Manuj,
I especially like the lighting in this portrait. Quite fascinating to see the man relaxing on a bench. There is good tone and contrast. A smooth posting, good work. Regards,
Danilo

Hello Manuj! Very interesting man, original scene and pose. Good face. Very good black and white capture. Good effect. Well done!

Salut Manuj.
Le fond sombre met en valeur le personnage de cette image.
Une belle composition avec un superbe contraste.
Bonne salutation from Switzerland.

Hello Manuj,

I like the way the light is in the f/g and with each receding layer, it goes slightly dimmer. Nice sharpness on your focal person.

I would have cropped a little more from the top to balance the negative space.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

That is a great portrait.
Best wishes,

Hi Manuj,

Well many people critique by their own style, but mine is a little bit different here every one said excellent, very good and wow wow. But there were no one to notice that the main object is merging so many parts with the man in the background. My critique is for improvement not for just wow. Sorry for any harsh words you feel.

Thanks

Hi Manuj,
What I like about this shot is that your subject stands out. The eye contact is there and the off centered composition looks great. Nice work my friend.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Manuj..your black and white shots are excellent..how did you do the conversion?

Roger

Hi Manuj
Hope you are doing well my friend
This time you've captured this curious looks
Strong composition in B/W mode with great details and unique lighting, bravo
Best wishes
Alireza :)

Interesting and insightful comment, Manju. You have more courage than myself to face people often living with less and you show compassion too.

Keep shootin'

Richard

Hi Manuj, you managed your cammera settings nicely providing a great DOF here. Perfect one.
TFS and cheers,

Hi Manuj, A good daily view of life in this big city. The young man looks quite alert and your approach is obviously curteus. The simpleness and the negative space on the left side give it power. TFS. Murray.
