[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
To be at one with God is to be at peace ... peace is to be found only within, and unless one finds it there he will never find it at all. Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul.

friends

Manuj Mehta

good shot.

Hi Manuj

Hope you are doing well
Great portrait with a nice title
The background is amazing in case of shape and lighting
The 1/8sec is too slow for handheld capture and am not sure if you've used a tripod

TFS, Alireza

hello friend....

at f/6.3 you surely got the geometrical motif at his back equally clear and the 1/8s resulted in a slightly OE on his white cap ~ just MHO....:)

A contemplative look, a good composition to this shot - good use of negative space and perfect rule-of-thirds placement of subject.

Nice work, as always!

Hi Manuj,
Another striking portrait, this time, of a very peaceful man.
Yes, he's calm in meditation and really thinking of GOD.
Nice contrast, especially between the hat and the black beard and the good preservation of grey tones.
Very sharp capture and the BG is just marvelous.
Great work in B&W as usual, my friend.
Have a good week.
My best regards,

Francis Xavier

Hi Manuj,

Some areas must be checked in ur shot, The beard is merging with the coat, the cap of the person is over light (dont have the details), the eyes dont have a catch light, even there is a focus is also not that perfect.

Hello, Manuj -
I have missed your contributions lately and I'm glad to see a posting from you. This is a really great capture of the singular moment; the man's eyes communicate the peace he feels to be communicating with God. Very sharp details with perfect exposure and nice range of b&w tones. Well done, my friend.

The subject's head is nicely positioned on the 1/3 axis. The honeycomb patterned bg adds interest in this superb b&w portrait. Good dof & sharpness. Tfs!

dear Manuj mehta,
he looks having one religious belief, I hope it is not fanaticism...
in this portrait, the contrast between his "eyes and tilt face" and back geometric pattern of fence is interesting and artistic.
and his shining hat and black beard makes strange ambience, it matches his expression.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hi ManuJ,

Hello Manuj
A superb b&w portrait with good texture in the beard face, with superb sharpness, dof & lighting. Tfs.Best regards Siegfried

Hi, Manuj.This is a very beautiful and brilliant composition highlighting the essence of black-and-white photography and a lesson on the value of metering. The play of light and the shadows with a well planned composition is very creative. Congratulate you and and thanks for sharing.
