Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 22 April 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
Taken at Cannock Chase Forest Staffordshire UK. I did a little pp on this to give it a little softer look :)
Thank you all for your comments yesterday, I really wish I had the time to thank you all personally :)

Good framing & nice processing!Beautiful shot!

Great picture, Mary.. I love the feel of it!
22 Apr 2008 4:41am
I think your composition is beautiful, here, MaryB. The softness of the backdrop allows me to focus on the energy and dynamism of your handsome subject!

Oh you are ready for portraits ! and he is gorgeous ;) lol

This is nice; his hands appear to be quite comfortable on those strings.
22 Apr 2008 6:34am
Another wonderful composition. Love the color in this...nice contrast. Great job!
22 Apr 2008 6:58am
The colors are so rich here , very nice framing .
22 Apr 2008 8:20am
The photo does a nice job of capturing the action of the hands here by what seems to be almost a highlight of them. Those coupled with the warm colors of green and brown.

A image with natural color, and I like the light and also the darker background, brings the subject to life. Pity we can't hear the music.
22 Apr 2008 9:10am
Long live rock n´roll.Good shot lots of feeling.
22 Apr 2008 9:28am
I like the softness of this shot - did you intend it that way or was it the uploading process that changed it?
22 Apr 2008 9:33am
great framing MaryB!! I like the softness, nice pp! :)
22 Apr 2008 9:58am
Lovely shot of the moment.
22 Apr 2008 11:56am
Yes, Mary!! The background is much better on this one than yesterday's!! But his hands are a little overexposed which a little distracting ... but otherwise I really love this one. The pose is great with the interest on the guitar, the profile (meeeoooww!), and the soft colours (the blacks are so rich).

I like this one but am pulled toward the b/w. The blow out of the hands is a bit distracting, but otherwise it is gorgeous. The PP you did with the color is beautiful.
22 Apr 2008 12:21pm

22 Apr 2008 12:27pm

22 Apr 2008 12:43pm

22 Apr 2008 12:44pm
Really great detail in this shot, Wonder what lens u were using for this shot.
22 Apr 2008 1:24pm
Your pp was great!
22 Apr 2008 2:38pm
Great shot, looks like an album cover. Agree with Amy on the hands, being a bit overexposed. Good stuff.
22 Apr 2008 3:02pm
Another wonderful one Mary. I really like the softness here! Well done.
22 Apr 2008 3:47pm
A masterful piece of photography Mary, perfect colour, composition, framing and DOF.
22 Apr 2008 3:54pm
Like it. Very nice tones and the softness fits the subject.
22 Apr 2008 4:14pm
I can almost hear the sound of the guitar. Great color and details!
22 Apr 2008 4:18pm
I prefer yesterdays, but this one is still ok!
22 Apr 2008 4:19pm
this is great. beautiful light, colors, detail. i think i have a slight preference for yesterday's. i think it was the combination of yesterday's pose and feeling from the monochrome.
22 Apr 2008 4:38pm
Wow,
Like i said yesterday... to me this is inspiring.
22 Apr 2008 5:03pm
You allready had some feedback... The atmosphere in the wood with this background is nice. Like others I also prefer the pose of yesterday picture. As we see nearly all his body I feel the crop on his head too tied and I would like to have a little space to turn around (just a thought). An other nice portrait anyway.
22 Apr 2008 6:43pm
I really like the color in this one...the softness of the shot and the framing! Very nicely done Mary
22 Apr 2008 6:44pm
Yes i see the softness in the hands, looks great!!!
22 Apr 2008 8:55pm
i love the soft look.Can almost hear him strumming:) So was this gentleman doing it for fun or 'busker-ing'?
22 Apr 2008 9:23pm
@tyan: Thank you Tyan, this is my hubby Ian, who I highjacked to get some portrait practice :) he's been playing for over 30yrs.
Nicely done once again Mary!
22 Apr 2008 10:43pm
I really like this. It reminds me of an album cover from the 60's or something, love the tones and how natural it looks. And the colour is lovely
23 Apr 2008 12:21pm
Another beautiful portrait. I like the background. The colors fits perfect to the man and his guitar. Very well composed, may be a little bit more space above the head. I like it.

Makes me want to listen to some Fairport Convention!
