Hi, Swiatek,
Excellent shot, very interesting. Good composition and sharpness. Possibly a bit of fill-in flash might have helped bring up more detail in his face, but then you would have awakened him, because I think those cotton rates have put this man to sleep, no?

Salut Swiatek,
Belle photo un peu humoristique avec une composition intéressante et un titre en harmonie...
Peut-être un coup de flash aurait pu débusuqer les ombres portées sur le visage qui reste presque invisible.
Bonne idée et Cliché bien vu.

wow, what an incredible picture. i love your approach to this scene. it's just beautiful. only small problem is, his face looks too dark on my monitor. but i don't think a flash would have been a good idea, it would ruin all those lovely subtle shadows of the wrinkles in his tarp and so on.

Hi Swiatek ,
Nice shot, with beautiful soft colours.
Good compo and DOF
But I think the face of the man is too dark

Hi Swiatek, I like everthing aboot this shot the different orientations of the man, the cloth and the cotton, the contrasting colours, the mood, the radio... Really well done
Cheers
Daniel
