[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Street shooting in Lille with my 50mm 1.4D. Normal people, working people, lazing people, everyday circumstances. Most of the time.

- "Sir, can I take your photograph?" .. CLACK
- "You look so nicely distinguished"
o "Euh, yes. How do you want me to pose?"
- "Oh, that doesn't matter. I already took the photograph!";-)

Hi Dennis,

Great portrait. He certainly looks like an interesting fellow! I like his wardrobe.

Nice simple frame with one of the best signatures I've ever seen!!! How did you do that?

thanks for sharing, Lisa

Stilish and simple at the same time... interesting warm face, a contemporary gentleman
The shot is very well focused on the main subject and the blurriness of B/G suits to the mood.

Ciao, Antonella

He does look distinguished in a rough way. The out of focus stairs in the BG add to the story here. Super crisp. Well seen and CLACKed. TFS. K2

PS. What are you doing in France. There are no disasters there ;-)

Nice shot Dennis.. Good foreground.. TFS.

*Sir, You look so nicely & distinguished*
-------------------------------------------
Dennis even Shakespeare would have blushed by so much prosaic words
as we find here from you in the few lines in the note!
A compliment for that note and Dennis : !This is photography!

Even with the support of heaven I relay would not know what to ''add'' in words
that can improve this photo.
In a healthy way .. all I can say is :
A pity this is not a photo out of my camera!

Best regards
John

Hoi Dennis,
Het verhaal klopt niet helemaal bij de gezichts-uitdrukking. Je hebt hem éérst een compliment gegeven en daarna pas geclict. ;-)
Mooi resultaat met een erg goede DOF en scherpte. Mooi van kleur ook, uiteraard. De achtergrond is nog net herkenbaar. Mooi werk, mooi lensje.
groeten,
Joop

Very nice portrait. Good composition and sharpness. Also the guy is interesting. Maybe this portrait looks better when it is in B/W. Maybe you can post it in B/W so we can compare.

Still a great picture anyway.

Greetz Perry

Hoi Dennis,
Had deze even emist, sorry. Prachtig portret (letterlijk en figuurlijk) de ruime compositie valt hier goed, aandacht blijft naar die karakteristieke kop gaan. Prima plaat man!
Hans

Hello Dennis!
Excellent detail and clarity in this portrait!
Perfect shot!
Beautiful colours!
Best regards!
Lili

So natural and relaxed:)
Lovely light and colours.
So fantastically sharp.
