Hello Marine!
So you had been to my city...a city I had left 10 years back travelling across various megalopolises in India. It was good as well that you were able to catch up with Sayeed & Tushar!

In my opinion, this is one of the best portraits from you, total naturalness in colours, skin tones & that look... he seems to be looking through & not at you!
Best,
Angshu

What news of Sayeed BTW?

नमस्ते,

आप के ये सम्मान के लिये धन्यवाद. हम सेब हैं तो आप सितारा हैं. LOL...

A nice portrait again from you. The colors are fabulous and the tones are natural and real. I love that look. Well that piercing look. He looks unfazed and nothing seems to disturb and bother him. The background idols of god give energy to the composition.

For the Kolkata trip we should be really thankful to Spiritual Sayeed. :) A must visit friend whosoever has Kolkata in itenary. LOL..

Have a nice time
Tushar

Hello Marine,
A beautiful portrait with lovely detail and DOF. I am wondering what the man is thinking - he is looking straight at you. Stunning work that I enjoy very much. I also enjoyed your note.
Regards, Ann

bonjour marine,
I am following your shots and those of the two apples with great pleasure, along with the comments and the replies that follow, they are almost like a travelogue told by a chorus :)
sometimes a picture captures our eye because of a single anatomical detail - without dismissing the rest of the elements here, I find myself looking at this man's thin lips over and over again. maybe it's because I find them unusual for a man, or maybe because they do not curl up to appease us with a smile and they seem to follow the downward line of his eyes...
Looking at the background, I have to say that I still don't understand what the blue patches are... is it a statue? they look like arms and legs to me - but are they?
have a good weekend!

Hi Marine,
Superb portrait of the man. Really wonderful details, especially on the facial hair and the his eyes are so intense and engaging. Love the soft background that bring our attention more to the man, Beautiful rich color and yet very natural.
Way

Hi Marine
A super, striking and emotive portrait well composed with the eyes being the most powerful element. You have caught them perfectly, the head being on a slight tilt adds some dynamism to the image, good use of shallow depth of field and excellent focus with lot of detail. The eyes are stunning, staring straight out at you to set you thinking and I wonder what his story is? His eyes give a hint of being a bit in doubt about you capturing his soul. A moody but powerful shot nevertheless with some appeal, expression and character. A fantastic portrait which makes me doubt about what this man is really thinking; hope, empty, sceptical, doubt, wistful, sad? What a lot to possibly read in those eyes!!! Splendid photo work Marine, TFS
Best regards
