[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I have been in another trip to Valenii de Munte, a small town not far from my home city. This time, a friend of my friends was with us too. I decided that the man had a picturesque face (in fact, he is a picturesque person in his way) and would make an interesting photo. The light was good as always, in that restaurant you always have an excellent light and its wooden furniture has a warm color very useful for my backgrounds.

Hi Andreaa,
This is a magnificent portrait, although the man's eyes arn't vissible, his whole pose it that of an old man and his habbits. Nice sharp and indeed the lighting here is perfect. Superb posting my dear Andreaa! TFS.

Hi Andreea,

Great bw picture. You managed to capture the light perfectly and keep the sharpness and detail. Very intimate, i think, as if we were there with you, sharing a beer and a nice conversation :)

TFS
best wishes

Hi Andreea.
Great portrait of old man. This is relationship. Beer and smoke. Always. I know it, I was a smoker. Good composition, very impressive.
Congratulations.,

Hi Andreaa,
I really like this type of photo's. It reminds me of the simple life. TFS.
Technically the photo is a bit over-exposed at the left side. But there is so much quality left, that this is a great picture!
greetings,
Joop

hello Andreea,

I like this portrait very much. I like the b&w choice. the light is beautiful.
greetings, inn

Very well taken his attitude; overexposed sides of his hair adding a plus! The bottle, the glass and the lower left corner are distracting. On the table should remain only the glasses.

Excelent Andreea! Foarte reusita fotografie, expresia fetei barbatului e foarte bine surprinsa, compozitia la fel. Lumina puternica batand din spate ii pune in valoare fata si expresia fetei.
Felicitari!

Lovely portrait, Andreea, with the light filtering through his hair and the smoke. Perfect moment, just as his lips are about to close over the cigarette. Well done. (And good product placement as well, in case you want to use as a Tuborg advertisement.) -Hugh

great black and white photo great use of light and contrast

:-) OK-

Hi Andreea, I just see this interesting old man on TE, also here great portrait, splendid B&W composition with great natural light, very well done, ciao Silvio

Really a good portrait with the backlight, nice to see somebody still smoking (I smoke also) and drinking some good beer (Tuborg), He must be quite a character. This image is made for B&W. Good one Andreea.

Another well done in B&W, like it. He is picturesque! I have quit the cigerettes but still enjoy my beer! Don

Very interesting subject Andreea and a nice portrait you made here. Looks great in B&W with good tonal range. Loooks as though he's really enjoying his smoke:) Nicely seen and captured Andreea. TFS!
