What counts here is the photography...
No metter where do we come from, in what God do we belive, what language do we speak, or not...
Yesterday I asked my friend not to cancell his account from a web page, and delate all his pictures, just because one id*** made a few innapropriate comments about his picture...
Whatever we post, means something to us, and means that we wont to show, to share, and not to convince others to some other belives or staff like this...
If theres a poor family in an image, it's not tu deride but to show, that there's an another kind of situation, and an another more, etc...

This image is dedicated to my friend, as he like's to call himself, a gipsy...and as I like to say...a web-friend, someone who likes photography..., just someone who captures life arround him, to share with us, and maybe someday, someone who will have the power, will see it, and go there, and start something to improve, to give a chance to make the life of this people better...

So, people, we are here all for the same reason, to share, to learn and to see what other have to show, and not for some beliefs!

I love you all, and I'm listening to all of YOU that have the same ideals...

And as I was asked...well, here is just the play with the light, but not at all complicated. The lamp(45W!!osram) turned into the white wall on my left side, 20cm away from me, with the dark room and a bright blue picture on my deskop. I cut out eyes, duplicating layers and brightened those two circles, then overlayed it upon the BW portrait, a selfportrait! I simply calibrated the focus and expo time to the point where the camera was put and with 3 seconds delay, I've shoot myself:)

Hi Miuky
The most powerful element of this shot is the catchlights in your subject's eyes - they're fantastic, and the sharpness is superb. Overall the lighting is great, as is composition and background.
And I salute your note ... well said.

Dobar Dan Miuky,

I do not know which one I prefer , your lovely auto-portrait or your useful and well said note. Anyway, I took the liberty to enter yours in my favorite member's auto-portraits ( ladies).
Keep on the good work!
