[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Everyday you rise, to face the world with open eyes
But as you venture through the day, you learn your visions not that great
You come across trials and tribulations that sometimes test your view
And you end up not knowing how to see them through.
That’s when you begin to struggle and things begin to get rough
Then you start to feel like god’s work is not quite enough
Just hold ya head and pray that you don’t fall.
If you just keep the faith, I promise, you’ll gain sight!
And soon find out that even when you struggle, you can and will always suffice.

friends
this man was sitting in front of a closed shutter and he was holding a flower in his hand. i have captured it in coloured version and then converted it to the black and white.
hope you'll like it

regards
Manuj Mehta

Hi Manuj

A superb b&w portrait with good sharpness, shallow dof, & framing. He's obviously taking time out, to smell the roses, although it's probably a marigold. Tfs!

Hello Manuj! Good face, very good scene, perfect Black and White portrait. Well done!

Hello, Manuj -
Excellent portrait of this man in an unusual pose; the shutters behind him provide strong horizontal graphics. The sharpness conveys the contours of his face; his eyes have an faraway expression. Wonderful capture of a singular moment.

Olá Manuj

Excelente trabalho.
Tudo aqui está formidável.
Parabéns!!!
Grande abraço,
Vera.

Ciao Manuj

dear Manuj mehta,
of course you know the tales of Buddha and a flower...
I don't know the difference between both performances of Buddha and this man.
maybe the flower think two persons are quite similar, because the flower is the flower, and far, there are no difference between the flower and the man,
every creature is quite like one flower.
anyway this dark tone of B&W contrast makes the shadow tasteful, and the soul of this man too.
thank you,
Akihisa
