[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here he is...!!! My eldest son!! This is a special moment, because he doesn't like me making photo's of him. But this time I used an original trick!! (I think always do......:)) He wants to go to the hairdresser, but he thinks that the hairdresser doesn't understand what he wants. So I said, lets make a photo "before and after" and lets see the result when you have your hair done.

YES!! I am allowed to make a photo!! YES!! It is a pitty that I don't have a reflexcamera to make a hundred photo's... but oke, I've got the time for three photo's and then he said: It's enough!

So, this is what you get. One photo, but a very special one of my son Nick!

I played with the colours, sharpend and framed it.

Have a nice and warm day!!

Janneke
ps. I am still a proud mother.....sorry....

Good black and white portrait with surprisingly good focus given the small aperture, even if it could have been even better, on the eyes as opposite to the chin. I like the tight crop and also the tilt of the face works well for the composition. The hair and skin have a pleasant texture, the piercing eyes clearly stand out, it is definitely worth printing in large format.

Hoi Janneke
Mooi in B/W gemaakt. Scherp en een leuke uitstraling.
Goed vastgelegd.
en nu naar de kapper !!!!

Ciao, Antonella

Prachtig portret Janneke, natuurlijk ben en blijf je trots.

Wat mij betreft is dat gespeel met kleuren erg prettig gelukt en de ogen zijn fantastisch.
Als je er maar 3 mocht maken dan is het wel gelijk goed gelukt.

Tu peux être fière ! Et on le ressent dans cette photo. Très joli portrait N&B d'un fort beau jeune homme. Un regard très accrocheur. Bravo.
Bonne journée.

Pascalie.

This is an awesome portrait! He should be glad to have such a good photographer as his mom. Very nice shot, well done.

This is a good portrait Jan! Very powerful. Fantastic sharpness especially on the eyes; good light and a nice, tight composition. He's a good looking lad and you've done him a real service here.
Lovely job

He is very handsome. Will you show us the "after" his hair is done photo? Even I prefer color photos, this one looks great in B&W. Great texture on his skin and hair. Congratulations.

Hello Janneke.
A shame, to cut this good looking hair off.!
It suits him very well. Hij kan nog lang genoeg met een kale kop lopen.
OKe. a good shave will do.!
Mooie foto, Janneke, daar kan ie wel trots op zijn.
Jan

Hi Janneke,
A handsome lad indeed and beautifully captured. His hair looks cool to me ... quite trendy :) Good tight cropping to frame the image. Overall tonal range and contrast is also very good ... I like the clarity of details. Well composed ... excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
