The vignette effect really brings out your subject, makes him almost heroic. Colors are great as always
Have a nice WE

Wonderful portrait, Caleb. Great subject. Strong lighting. Powerful details (the crspness on his turban, especially. And that white background is remarkable. It really draws me in. Suggestion? Perhaps a bit more off-center, maybe just cropping some from the right.

Hello Caleb,

A superb portrait of the man � incisive, colorful and with as high a definition as one could hope for. The man is wearing color-coordinated clothes, and the background is highly complementary.

Well done.

A great shot man, a wonderful deep and intense portrait. I love that blue vigenette and the warmth that is coming from his face. A very strong shot with superb sharpness and light on it.

Take care,

Very simple, but very impressional picture.
The background colour matches to this yeallo clothing guy too. The simplicity really makes this picture stand out.

great light on the expressive face of this water-carrier. Nice portrait of a man at work.

Hi Caleb, Extraordinary portrait of camelman. The way he is holding the pot is real beauty in this pic. Niraj Sinha

Hi Caleb
Again a super good portrait, with a lateral soft light, centered but the arm carrrying the bucket make it not symetrical. I don't know how you darken the 4 corners of your picture
Good easter WE

My sincere compliments and TFS

Hi, Caleb. A very nice face and a decided look. The man is staring at the lens and this gives force to the image. He stands out well against the blue background thanks to the good contrast with his clothes.
Happy Easter,
Philippe

It's a masterpiece Caleb, excellent one. The light, colors, quality are all superb. The vignetting is effective too.

Hi Caleb!
Surely an amazing portrait! The way he looks at you is simply amazing and the light couldn't be better.Very well framed also!

ryno (6869) 2009-04-15 4:37

Hi Caleb, this is such a great shot. You"ve made the most of the soft light and caught him at a perfect moment. His expression is hard to read - it seems to be humourous and somewhat quizzical. I also like the strange, blueish background. Great work!
Ryno

charlotte_iona (1111) 2009-04-20 12:58

Hi Caleb, I haven't visited your gallery in a while, but your travel portraits are always a joy. This is fantastic - I love everything about it: the warm lighting; the contrast of the tones in the man's skin and clothing against the blue sky; the way you've managed to make it seem as though he's actually glowing (how did you even do that?!); the perfectly balanced composition; the expression on his face... Yet another of your pictures I can only wish I'd taken!!

brandstaetter (15915) 2009-04-24 12:25

Hi Caleb,
it愀 simple, effective, technically brilliant and it shows an interesting posture of the body.
Good portait, compliments, Chris

Light, sharpness and framing: just perfect.
