i love this – the color and shadowing is beautiful, not to mention the facial expressions and contrast of emotion between the man and woman (she looking skeptically at something while he stares ahead at the camera as if daring the viewer to judge). i wonder how this image would look in black and white.
Thank you so much. I got to know both of these people and they were very nice.
I liked his very pointed view.
I’ll have to try the b&w. I’m having to put a list together of different things to try. There is little time beyond processing and submitting work to the Museum Director who I’m working with on this assignment along with documenting my wife’s project.
Thanks again, for your detailed comment and I do appreciate your suggestion.
The woman looks focused, but I don’t know if I’d trust the look on that fella.
GP he is actually a very nice person. I really appreciate his directness. She was also delightful. I’m finding the Turkish people to be exceedingly friendly and warm.
I was only commenting on his expression, my dry sense of humor got me in trouble again – my apologies.
You’re OK and I understand. His expression does have threatening appearance and back alley would not be the place to meet.
Thanks for the follow up.
Very intense image which the vignette has contained beautifully. Strong, very strong, Tim.
Thank you John. That vignette did work well. It really focused.
He looks more like he is trying to give you a message.
Yes but what
Exactly!
