This exhibition space is located on the ground floor of the historic Belfry on the Market.
The open space (600 sqm) is especially suitable for retrospectives
The portrait of the man, of the exhibitions, I had written his name but lost, so I know not the name.
But his show is very beautiful in the hall.

Hi John,
You have captured well the nice expression of the man. The point of view is showing the details of his physionomy. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello John,
The art exhibition sounds like a wonderful thing to see and you have taken advantage of the situation by taking this very fine photograph of an artist.
Your use of a wide aperture has made the man stand out beautifully sharp against a nicely out of focus background and we can see every detail in his complexion and his magnificent beard. The light is beautifully soft, the colours natural and the details and sharpness exquisite.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.

Hallo John,
Mannen met baarden zijn wel één van je lievelingsonderwerpen in fotografie.
Het verbaast me steeds weer hoe je al die haartjes uiterst scherp hebt weergegeven. Eveneens de heel kleine rimpeltjes in de jas van deze man.
De bakstenen muur is dan lichtjes wazig om de persoon des te beter te benadrukken.
Ik heb bij deze foto een vraagje. Dit is niet kritiek maar ik merk dat veel fotografen bij portretten een stukje van de persoon afsnijden. Soms is dat een klein deel van het hoofd bovenaan. Hier betreft het een minuscuul deel van de muts en van het haar en de baard van de man. Ik ben helemaal niet goed in portretfotografie en maak bijna nooit dergelijke foto's maar spontaan zou ik trachten het hoofd helemaal weer te geven. Nochtans merk ik dat vele fotografen dat net niet doen. Is dat een regel in fotografie?
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
Now and then you show us a portrait. They are always interesting because they bring us so close to the motif. Thanks to the excellently managed light and the perfect sharpness we can study the faces into the smallest details, perhaps sometimes so closely that the person on the photo would feel uncomfortable if he/she was aware of our curious eyes. But this is a great shot of this original elderly gentleman. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonsoir, cher ami John
Excellente contribution quant à la réalisation de portraits. Le sujet est très réussi. Quant à la définition, elle est parfaite, l'on pourrait presque compter les poils de barbe !
Bravo !

Hello John,
What a portrait of this elderly man! we can see the every hair in his beard. Fantastic. On the other hand, I wouldn't like to see my wrinkles shown so clear. The picture is so perfect that it looks like from the Wax museum.
Warm regrads Malgo

Dag John,
Mooi uitstapje naar de portretfotografie. Een fantastisch scherp beeld. We weten dan wel niet zijn naam, maar kunnen wel al zijn baardharen tellen.
Top, die rode duivels. En ook nog met prachtig voetbal. Nu via Wales naar de halve finale.
Groet Rob

Hello John,
the artist makes me think of Leonardo, you took a strikingly sharp portrait, the textures and colours look so natural and the stone wall makes a great backdrop that adds reference but doesn't distract. His thoughts seem to lie somewhere else at the moment, maybe on a new artistic vision. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hello John
The sharpness on this portrait is good, as well as the exposure. The depth of field is well chosen.
This man seems to Leonardo da Vinci, at least his beard.
Excellent work.

Ciao John
un bel ritratto per un curioso personaggio, in qualche modo mi ricorda Leonardo Da Vinci, del resto la barba è molto simile e anche l'abbigliamento non è molto diverso.

Dear John,
If there was any doubt that the quality of digital photography has surpassed analogue photography, this perfect portrait removes the doubt. The sharpness of the photo is astonishing. The artist has been beautifully photographed by a modern Flemish master. Well done.
In comments that you and Gert offered for my Stromboli photo, I wanted to reproduce what I wrote to him: ""I remember seeing an old Ingrid Bergman film shot on a volcanic island. Was that in Stromboli? I think I must have seen in on television in the 60s or 70s. I just googled it, here is what Mr. Google says: "Stromboli, also known as Stromboli, Land of God is a 1950 Italian-American film directed by Roberto Rosselini..."
Warm regards,
Bulent

I really like the side angled presentation as compared to one straight on in a forward direction, this is smartly composed.

Hi John,
you occasionally add some portraits for a change in between mainly architectural photography.
I am more into view and postcards but it is indeed great for a change to try something very different.
This is such a photogenic face with the beard making the most original aspect of it.
Very well seen and captured!!
