It's amazing how in a simple photograph, you captured how hard this man works.

This is a very fine portrait, the detail is excellent. Why have you been hiding it from us for so long

Hi, mal ein wenig Kritik:
Ich hΓ€tte das Bild dunkler "entwickelt" und leider finde ich, dass der Kontrastrand der MΓΌtze zu sichtbar ist. Auch der Stich ins leichte RosΓ© passt (wie ich finde) nicht so ganz.

Bitte nicht bΓΆs sein - aber ich finde, eine ehrliche Kritik abzugeben ist immer besser als nur zu sagen "tolles foto". Und ich will damit auch auf keinen Fall Dich und Deine Fotokunst angreifen - sondern es geht mir ganz alleine nur um das Bild.

Viele Grüße

Stone

Danke fΓΌr die konstruktive Kritik, Stone! Ich wollte das Bild so hell. Der Kontrast an der MΓΌtze gefΓ€llt mir auch nicht

Viele Grüße und eine schâne Zeit

Impeccable capture of hard life – indeed the texture of the mans face is so life like it’s as if one could feel the roughness by touching the computer screen

He had been the foreman of the cocoa plantation from a friend of mine working 6 days a week from 6am to 5pm!
