[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first attempt to do some form of a portrait.

I captured one of the many street artists on the plain around the Cathedral in Koln (Cologne). The artists are painted in a single colour (silver in this instance) with clothes to match. They pretend to be a statue until the unexpected tourist get close when they will make a slight movement to the shock of the tourist.

Photo was taken in raw and exposure dropped by 5% using Rawshooter. As usual, resized and frame added in Photoshop.

This is a very well done portrait. I've seen many buskers like this also. I really like your crop and the overlap on the framing.
Cheers

Andrei,
Great first Portrait. Your depth of focus is great and how you made the subject stand out from the frame is even greater. Nice job!
cheers!

Nice expression and great work with the framing. I like the way the top of the clothing ressembles the hair. Good first attempt at portraiture.

Regards,
Johan
