A very beautiful photograph and one that shows great sensitivity. I hope to learn from photographers like you. Your decision to slightly desaturate the image almost to B/W was, in my opinion, a good one. The result is excellent. The expression on the subject's face is priceless. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Eleen,
Good grief! If he looked like that how did you look? ;P Ahh...always good to be the one with the camera, eh?
Excellent capture...very expressive. We can even see the sweat in his hair. And his frozen expression in the white glow of uncertainty.
Well done!

The expression is very good, not knowing what's coming, a bit scared and also something like Don't look back, go on and see what happens....
PP-work is really nice done, Eleen, good shot and the close-up is also very good !

bonsoir eleen.
C'est un beau portrait avec beaucoup de sentiments et d'inquiétudes, on voit une goutte de sueur lui coulait le long du nez. Très beau contraste.
joli travail.

oh great! i almost missed this one! what's not so nice about being the last to comment is that you can't repeat what has been previously said. so, even if a photo is one that i feel like praising, i hesitate to register my comment if what i feel like saying had already been mentioned by the others who viewed the photo much earlier than i am. and this one is no exception! i concur...

Nice work Eleen. The slight desaturation looks like he has turned white with fear. You have a dangerous job, be careful. Great portrait.

Very good capture, Eleen. The expression on his face tells everything. Nice work of de-saturating the colours. Excellent!

Wow! What a great capture!! We can even see him sweating!! And he looks so pale, like he's about to faint! Scary!
Great work!

Wonderful, good work, you have managed to capture the moment perfectly, the concentration, and focus is depicted very well, the PP works well and gives some added drama to the situation.
Well done, good work!
