Fala aí Leo, tudo jóia ?
Gostei muito da caracterização e do contraste dos tons, pois com essa luminosidade dá pra ver tons de branco realmente claros e tons de preto realmente escuros, dando mais dramaticidade à foto. Parabéns pelo award e por outro excelente trabalho.

Qué buena toma! Me encantan la composición, la elección del blanco y negro, el personaje, y también muy bien elegida la profundidad de campo, porque se ve un fondo que permite encuadrar al sujeto, pero sin distraernos del mismo.
Felicitaciones!!!

An excellent title to this wonderful monochromatic informal street portrait study my dear Leo. Very dark but with great detail and superb dof. First class work.

Sorry I haven't seen you in a while but you disappeared from my portfolio ages ago for some reason.....I thought I had upset you or something. My very best wishes to you as always....Ray:)

Roger Williams Roger Williams   {K:86139} 11/23/2006
This is a very fine portrait, much stronger than the one you uploaded earlier. I recognize the "look" of Tri-X (a favourite film of mine for years). I can imagine how those lovely deep blacks will look on a print--much better than on any screen. I am pleased and proud that you selected me as a Usefilm "friend."

Jeroen Wenting   {K:25317} 11/12/2006
Not bad, but too contrasty.
Whites are blown out, blacks are closed up.
Seems like you are about 1 zone off on each end.

filipe franco filipe franco   {K:731} 11/12/2006
Depois de tudo dito, resta-me observar uma subtileza directamente relacionada com a composição da imagem (na diagonal)e sua leitura:O grupo de figuras existente em 2º plano - (ponto de fuga) e sua relação directa com a parede de 1º plano reforçam uma "linha de força" que desempenha (em minha opinião) uma dupla função de equilibrio em relação ao elemento central - (em termos de composição)e reforça a condição siocial da figura (em relação à menssagem )
De facto, a degradação da parede de 1º plano transmite-nos uma idéia associada a pobreza e o grupo de ultimo plano determina uma idéia de grupo social. Estes elementos associados entre si contrapõen-se à vestimenta domingueira da figura principal, destacando-a.
