[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this is one of my favorites;)

this man is the guide for a beautiful medieval church... the hands on his shoulders are my husband's and a friend's of mine... we wanted to visit the church but it was closed, and not functional... my husband and the friend went to search in the village for the guide, who was asleep and very drunk:)) finally he woke up and we visited the abandoned church - a real beauty... and at the end we were almost friends:)

I cropped the original because I love those hands on his shoulders, like wings... don't you think?

Superb portretu' si mainile de pe umeri da' e cam mult in partea de sus si e cam prea centrata (ma rog, oi fi io obsedat de asimterie).

pupez,

Hi Anca, nice portrait in b&w, blured background looks excellent, good detail too, only thing I would have done is to crop some of the top part but it is just my choice.. well done

Great image, Anca! The two hands on each shoulder are very harmonious. I like your crop, and I think you could have cut more at the top to really focus more on the guide. Beautiful, uplifitng image!

dap asa e!e f buna idee!oricum..si fata omului e f expresiva!super!

too much 'empty' space on the top, it talkes away the focus from the actual subject and it's appropriate title, otherwise, good tones, thanx, M, (*_*)

Hi Anca,
its a very famous picture from the expression and also B/W i like very much for it.
I did a workshop, because i was disturbed by too much space on the top.
How you like it?

Beautiful composition, Anca, and wonderful expression you have captured on the guide's face. I like the addition of the two hands on his shoulders. Nice B&W. Excellent!

Hi Anca,
This is a great portrait. The lighting is excellent and there is a great friendship mood/emotion that comes out of it with these 2 hands and the great expression. Very well done.

excellent portrait here anca :)
very b/w tones looks great, good eye contact
very nice work

excelenta simertye in spatiu
numai bine george

Oh Anca!! this is fantastic photo! I love the crop!! what a symbolics together with your title, bravo!!
M:))

Yes - a little wing-like. Although we can't see his new friends, the gesture is easily seen as one of friendship and he seems pleased to have met you, even though he may well have a hang-over ;)
Strangely, I like the space above. That almost negative space strengthens the image for me somehow.
OK - how about the symbolism here ... He is a new angel and the space above is where he can move into. Best I can do ...

Very well done and excellent note. TFS

Vine si verzisoru.

Hi Anca,

Well work, is a good choice to crop to show only the hands, I think is the subject of the photo. Excellent, I like it!
