A kind old gentleman who graciously allowed me to take a shot of him. His eyes had cataracts and his face showed the rigours of time. Comments and critique welcome as always
I like it too and Noely is right. It has some Beckett style.
Only one thing. I would ‘cover’ the five white spots on the left top.Super shot, certainly has some of the facial lines which Beckett had.
I’m must pluck up the courage sometime and take a shot like this.
Masterful capture as usual Ciaran. I was drawn to the face immediately and never noticed the ‘five white spots’ until they were mentioned. Wouldn’t change a thing about it. 8)
Thanks :)
In retrospect the image is soft, but I’ve never been able to pinpoint why. Initially (as lame as an excuse as this is) I blamed it on the persons cataracts. Usually I use a persons eyes to judge sharpening, which was difficult to do in this case. But as has been pointed out to me, it’s a DOF issue where I didn’t focus on the eyes and with the shallow DOF used, they ended up soft. I still like the shot and appreciate everyones comments, but I don’t think I’ll be able to print this one out big :(
Thanks again
