Wonderful portrait, great colours. Sharp and well exposed. I think this is an improvement on your original with more natural tones and less distractions. Very good shot.

incredible colors and the skin tone is so rich. i love the reflection in her eyes. nicely framed too.

Curioso (9271) 2005-02-21 15:36

Incredibly subtle use of the DOF. What about having the ear rings in focus too ? Apart from this, I love it all ! Colors, compo, sharpeness. Great job Maciej !

Hi Maciej, I have seen your link and I like more this one. It has more light, and we can see better the details of her face, and ornaments. The composition is also very good, having located she on the left side, and the DOF used helps to increase the attention to her beauty. Very lucky to find she in your trip, and pose as a professional model. TFS, brgds from Barcelona.

Maciej, I love your India portraits. You always manage to capture the colors so well. It's not that we don't want to see your Wales an England photos, it's just that India is so much more interesting. No insult intended ofcourse. Good job.

She's beautiful and the colours are beautiful too. And I'm sure you will have a lot of new intresting photographs coming back from your next trip. Still don't give up on your new photographs from England. TE is not the world and the most important can't be to pleas as many people here as posible. I think you are a very good photographer, developing a lot the last time. Your Indian and asian photos are beautiful and easy to "take in" already at the first glance. But some of you new stuff is much more intresting, maybe need a little more than a glance at the thumbnail to appreciate. Well i really don't know to much about photography so maybe you should not listen to what I say. But their are a lot of very good photographers on this site that also appreciate you new stuff, maybe listen to them insted : )

She looks like an Angel thanks to you, colors are very intense, the face of this gipsy girl is sharper than ever.
Thank you again for your picstures.

Maciek, pieprz na to co inni chca oglodac i fotografuj co jest w zasiegu twojej reki i mozliwosci, staraj sie nie zapomniec o tym ze jak bedziesz caly czas zflustrowany to nic Ci nie bedzie wychodzic, jak sie rozlusnisz i bedziesz to traktowal ponownie jako hobby i dazyl do zaspokojenia siebe a nie innych, Twoja fotografie zyska wiecej uznania w Twoich oczach.
Zaloze sie ze Twoja praca nie jest az tak nudna jak moja ;-)

Swietny portret, kolory nie z tej ziemi, jej szklane oczy upiekszaja kompozycje jeszcze bardziej.
Piotr
PS, ja lubie Twoje zdjecia z Azji i z Europy.

excellent Maciek. and don't be too harsh on yourself. You have many superb pictures that i love to look at, be they from India or UK. have a nice trip to India. regards, michel.

Maciej, that is a wonderful shot. Absolutely stunning..
I love this one.
The Eyes.. they hold my gaze.. The background is colorful and so is her sari..
but her eyes have that warmth and liveliness that speaks more than all the colors around her.
Her 'kajal' (eye liner) enhances the beauty in her eyes.. and her simple smile is breathtaking.
Too good Maciej. You have a winner here.

ash_parikh (2266) 2005-02-22 4:00

Very nice portrait. Great details and very sharp photo. Beautiful colours to go with it.

cmartos (242) 2005-02-22 4:08

Hi Macieck, this is a really wonderful catch, you caught these divine eyes in a very subtle and also perfect way. Nothing very clever to add here, I love this one!

olopez (4959) 2005-02-22 5:28

wow!!!
What a wonderfull portrait.
Magic eyes.
Colors are great, good use of DOF.
I think you are one of the best in TE, your gallery is impressive, included those that are not from Asia.
Enjoy your travel.

volpanglos (121) 2005-02-22 7:35

Vive les femmes...

I like the colours and the composition, but I would like to see more of her story.

Thanks

You know how it is Maciej, you suddenly stumble on a picture in TE, and now I discover this one of Pushkar: Gives me the desire to go to Pushkar again.. Wht a nice picture and what a pretty girl too The fact that you introduced a colorful bnackground makes it even prettier. Izzet

manny (22032) 2005-02-23 2:55

Good luck to your India trip. And be careful.

I always look at your India gallery in pbase and I think TE people have only seen 25% of it. The other 75% (some pics are even better thatn what you've posted here) is ouht to be seen by most of us here. A book would even be a good idea. You are the best photographer of Indian (scenery and people) here in TE. No doubt about it.

everlasting (19680) 2005-02-23 6:15

I'm a bit later to add anythign original here. but dont be too hard on yourself. i can imagine your frustration, but enjoy what you have and you certainly have an eye for photography. Of course, we all enjoy your indian shots the subjects are colourful, the compositions exoctic, but your recent work in Wales was also different. The painter in cardiff for instance. You see photographs around you where ever you are and that is a talent.
I hope you get your visa in time, take care and relax......(where will you go anyway?)
Elaine

sn00zie (2384) 2005-02-23 9:26

Jak zawsze swietnie skomponowane, doskonale kolory, ostrosc, swietne oczy, pelno wnich refleksow
Pozdrawiam, piotr

Wow, Maciek, because of Eric's comments, I saw this picture, it's lovely, it's fresh, full of life and full of color. Her eyes are marvellous!
I do not completely agree with you about your pictures from Wales, I already told you, that I thought you were finding your spot in Wales. it takes time to adapt, and adjust, but I still think you see the moments, and that's at the base of good photographing.
I am happy for you that you go back to India. Enjoy, and bring us nice pictures. Take care
BTW, maybe you should read Jose Elias thread here, if you haven't already.

Couleurs, oh oui! Cette photo réinvente le mot couleurs d'une façon incroyable. Elle est d'une netteté parfaite et cadrée superbement. Bravo!
