Thoughtfully mood, a photo from Tigray, North

Photographer's Note

Arriving in a new city the traveller finds again his forgotten past: the extraneity of what you have been or didn't belong to you anymore waits for you in the new and foreign places.
(Italo Calvino)

I'm back from a successfull journey thru northern Ethiopia in search of landascapes, history, people and light.

Con due occhi così...
Bellissimo il taglio della composizione che esalta lo sguardo serissimo, incorniciandolo fra i riccioli ariosi e la mano piccolissima di bambina!
Bravo!
Chiara

Hello Luca,
this is fabulous. The focus is flawless, the child is sweet and has a wonderful expression even with the full eye contact.
And an excellent composition / I would not dare to crop the hair, but it suits your shot perfectly. I wish I could do that.
Big bravo to you
Best wishes
Romana

Very good photo Luca.
The background is wonderfully blured and draw the whole focus on this young lady. Your crop seems just right and it looks like the girl looks through a window to all us TE-members. Colors and sharpness are spot on as far as I can tell.
I bow down, you made a piece of art in my opinion...

Wanda1 (15142) 2008-05-07 22:40

Hi Luca,
A beautiful potrait of this girl with her great hairstyle and curious look. I like the way you have composed the shot close in and off centre also using the horizontal format. Very nice!
Regards
Wanda

Ciao Luca,
Ritratto meraviglioso. Quale intensità e quale gravità nello sguardo di quest'ogni piccola ragazza. La luce che passò nei suoi peli è molto bella ed il colore verde del fondo mette molto bene in valore la sua pelle. Conservo questo viso nelle mie fotografie favorite.
Bravissimo
Diane

looks like you found the light, you found the people, I'm sure you shall show us ladscapes and history in your upcoming images. I love this one, light is fantastic, details in the hair on the left hand side amazing, there is so much depth coming from the curly hair over the background. Cannot wait to see more of your trip there.

:)

hispic (9658) 2008-05-08 3:24

Hi Luca,
Very impressive portrait, Her eyes gazing you in the large blurred background with pretty color are gripping also my eyes strongly.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Philippe (11836) 2008-05-08 6:47

Hi, Luca. What a gaze, it's full of doubts and maybe even fright, but it's nonetheless beautiful because it's also full of innocence. The sharpness is excellent and the off-centre composition works very well. Very goo DOF.

BennyV (30390) 2008-05-08 12:58

An absolutely lovely portrait, Luca. Great background, lovely eyes and that hair creeping all the way to the top right corner of the frame. Great!

Benny

Hello Luca,

Look at those wonderful curls! A wonderful horizontal layout protrait, but why crop it so tightly at the top?! Okay, it is possible in this composition, but just look at those curls! I want more of those curls!! :-))

Greetings, Dennis
