Gentleman fiddler

Comment by posthumous:
excellent portrait. perfectly exposed face with all detail, and surrounded on all sides by nice textures. topped off with a great duotone conversion. but most of all, a person worth looking at, captured at the height of his glint.

Still waiting for you to make this into a print so I can buy it. One of your best. Truly glorious in movement and tone saturation.

Nice colours, but there's something I'm just not enamoured with about this entry.

Yes, you did get the saturation just right. I don't understand why the cruddy 4 and below votes. I didn't vote in brown but perhaps like the sticky challenge, the topic put voters in a lousy mood. However, you got a nice full histogram with lots of high votes too :) The focus on your leaf is so nice. Maybe they didn't like the blur on the right? I guess that could be creatively cropped but it really changes the composition. Gutteral? Ha! Ach! Ich haben a laugh over that, you Deutscher you ;-)

Wow - did you plan on the grey/blue theme? I love how the background (doorway? window?) has the same color as her fur and eyes. Nice set up, Deb. the DOF is spot on. I might crop just past her shoulder at the bottom. She is such a beautiful kitty! Glad she's agreeable with her new surroundings. The whole set up seems to suit you guys.

Love the muted tones here - the thumbnail is a real interest grabber & the full size doesn't disappoint! A hair more saturation & contrast would have tickled my fancy, though - y'know, bring out some of the lovely tones that can be found in rust shots. I like the choice in composition & crop - << 7 >>

This is a nice idea but I think it would be more interesting if you zoomed out and showed the whole piece. Nice composition and color. 6
