beautiful portrait!

I like the processing and use of light in this image. Very nice.

I like a lot the framing, and the tone. For me is very good ;)

I can only second that - this is a lovely shot!

Oder anders gesagt, dem schließe ich mich hochgradig an. :)

I like the right part of the picture. Maybe you should try to cut out the street. I'm not sure if it will look much better but i would try it.

I wouldn't cut out anything, the road really adds to the photo.. great shot & processing.

Thanks for your comments..!
This shot is done with my analog Panoramic Cam "Horizon S3 Pro".
Film Kodak Pro 160 VC which gives that vivid colors.

There is no much processing. :-)
I only adjusted the contrast a bit.

/Andy!

Oh yes, it's featured!!
ON VAZAAR!!

That means WAY more than actual feedback!!

@Martine, I wasn't asking why he used PP, just why in this particular case, where the capture seems so brilliant, that he chose this approach to processing, but it seems to have generated a whole emotional response/conversation and an practical answer to my question now seems impossible.

@Andy, I clearly got the fact that you liked this PP approach from the mere fact that you posted it. As for you explanation that the processing focus the subject, well, this subject focuses itself just by his expression and the wonderful nature of his face and the brilliance of the moment. And, IMO, it seems that the PP detracts from that focus not enhances. I would never ask you to post the original. I just am trying to pull out of you what you thought was lacking in the original that this PP brings out or "fixes"??? Please don't take my questions/comments personally, remember this is a discussion about art, there's always going to be disagreement.

Anyway, cheers everyone!!

please stop the emotional discussion....
it's not worth at all. It's just a photo..

:)

have a nice weekend!

@Beamer - you're always creating trouble, arent' you? Just kidding - good discussion, in my view.

Best to all,
Jon

I was waiting, and wondering when you would post your "Forgotten church".. ;-)
Beautiful work again, Andy, one of my favourites in your gallery.

Thank you so much! Glad you like it!!!!!

Andy!

Cool! How did you did this? Wide-angle lens?
Look likes a painting of Esscher!

Absolutely stunning compilation. Beautiful lighting.

wide-angle lens?

yes. Fisheye ;-)

This is fantastic!!!

Beautiful photo! Nicely done!

Very powerful, I hope your behind some glass!!

Nice zoo shot, I think? The grass doesn't really look like Africa. You captured a very interesting moment, really hold the attention. Did you add the vignetting?? Nice job if you did, helps here.

Hey Beamer, thanks for your comment.
and yes your are right. Of course it's a zoo shot ;-) I guess it's really hard to make such a shot in wilderness ;-) And yes, i've added some slight vignetting on it.

All the best
Andy

The vignette definitely works, and I like the moment you captured. Can't really say too much.

This would work great in the "blue" topic also.
