Hello from the Critique CLub-
I have a couple of unfinished crituques from the distant past. It is intimidating to review such a great photo. I was surprised, just noe, to find that this wasn't a ribbon winner. I thought I remembered it in second or third place. Well it should have won and I gave it a ten.
One of the things I like best about this photograph, and several of your others, is the use of color. Orange is a odd color in the US and arely used. People do not dress in orange, they don't paint their houses orange. So to me the orange always stands out. Likewise yellow as in your "boyfriends" image. Yellow is for flowers, not for much else.
This fellow is great- he looks right into the camera and into my eyes with his little grin. What's he so happy about? What is he thinking? He leans towards me, increasing the sense of personal contact. He carries all sorts of things that I can't identify that make me curious about what he might be going to do.
Even though the composition here is fairly simple witht he center of interst in the center of the photo. the lines are intriguing, The composition is a triangle with the head at the top and the stuff in his hands at the base, The stripes of his clothing emphasize the diagonal of the triangle. The shape of his turban also mimica the larger triangle. the loop on his forehead and the point of his nose also point into the center of the photo. So all your leading lines draw into the image and none lead all the way out of the frame. This makes me, the viewer wander around and around exploring parts of the scene.
Your camera work is, of course, just perfect. Focus, lighting, contrast, all are wonderful.
It has been so long you've probably forgotten about this photo but I'll bet a lot of us will remember it forever. It is really an unforgettable shot and I thank you for sharing it with us.

| How come one of my 10's is way back here? And I am amazed that this got three 1's, that is so insulting! |

| Nice colorful image. The text is out of context though. If this was a post card for "save the world" a child or wildlife might be more appropriate. |

| Nice subject and composition. The soft focus is not the best choice for this subject, in my opinion. |

| Very postcardy, and technically speaking a beautiful shot. The only thing that kept it at 9 and not 10 for me was a lack of a certain spung, that magic 'Wow!' spark. But I have to save 10s for *something*, right? :-> It's very close, though. Perhaps if the wall had been *slightly* more contrasty in color to his clothing? |

| Your subject, photograph and presentation are first rate. I wonder about the message for a postcard. Nonetheless, a high mark. |

| Nice colors, but it doesn't really look like a postcard; more like a plea or protest. |

| This is a beautiful image... I know nothing about where this was taken or what the 'postcard' value of it is, but the image is definitely 'speaking' to me... phenomenal work... = 10 - setzler |

| I'm not sure what the title refers to, but this man really seems to embody this place, and makes me want to go there. Nice portraiture. Lighting, focus and colors are captured wonderfully. |
