I know, I know, I know it is not advisable to take portrait with sunglasses on, but I grab our camera so rarely that I have to seize the moment! :)

Hi Branka!
I mean..Robert!..I mean...I don't know what I mean ;D
excellent job! I like your close up and the tight crop! I don't mind the glasses at all, they add up to the 'cool' looking guy, plus the reflections in them look great!
wonderful job, congrats!

Hi Branka,

A long awaited welcome to Trek L.

You did very well on this capture. Your tones, contrasts and lighting. Excellent work.
The composition is good, however, I would have liked to have seen the whole chin, yet, same way at the top etc. Well done.

Robert, shave, !!!!!! LOL ;) :)

Bok Branka!
Moraš se češće izboriti za kameru! Ja sam je u našoj kući posve posvojila, a zapravo je muževa...posudim mu je pokoji puta. Baš sam vas svo troje pokazivala mojoj djeci...
Zgodan dečko!
Da vidimo šta sad slijedi iza ovoga?
Pozdrav, kolegice

Very nice portrait, Branka, and very natural with a nice light on his side. I like your very close crop and the sunglasses makes him look cool. As Marija has mentioned the reflection in them are very good, like another picture inside the picture. I am debating if I mind much that the chin is not in the frame but I think it still works because of the tight crop. Nice reflective expression you have captured. Excellent and it is always good to see your posting...

I know who this is :) His beard is very much in harmony with the reflections in the sunglasses :-D Nice portrait, Branka :)

The sunglasses are fine here, just because of the nice reflection in them. It also creates a special mood. I am more concerned about the white thing in the background, a bit distracting. But you did so well with the composition and the point of view that it compensates! Very nice work, Branka! I hope we'll see more of your talent soon!

good co-work with your husband - to place portraits of each other in the same time - and if a person reads note, he/she definately will want to check out the other portrait as well!

can't see anything bad in taking portrait with sunglasses. if they are clean, nice - why not? :) probably i'd say that this portrait is too close, but it's still very sharp and nice. well done!

I'm thinking, I'm thinking...no, nope sorry the sunglasses just hide his face so I can't tell :) I heard someone say: rules are meant to be broken. All rules are good untill proved otherwise. Like here. My only complaint would be the cold tone of the pic. Was the WB of q?

Hello Branka, this is very well done! Great sharpness, and reflections in the glasses. I love the tight composition here. Great work!

Cheers, Yan :)

P.s., I recognize him ;)
