Excellent. You have captured the dignity of the man beautifully and enhanced it all the more with your perspective and composition. The quality of the shot far outways the lack of sharpness in my opinion. Kudos

Breathtaking capture! Yes, the face says it all... the almost pensive expression amidst a work focused destination. Beautiful! Wen

As you say, it could be sharper, but the foto
of this man and his expression is wonderful!
People fotos do not usual have a hign score in
the V.B, but I like people shots, and when I get this in the V.B
I give you a 10 !

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
It's such a good portrait, Jan, right down to the sweat on his neck. That must be hard work. Did you try selective sharpening of just his eyes and hat or something? I just watched a video about that so it is fresh on my mind. The subject of the video was even wearing a straw hat! lol It looks here though like you softened the image on purpose. Great shot!

I like it as it is, and saved it. Nice that you were able to take a shot like that.

A great portrait. The lighting and color is what makes this stand out.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
Edward Weston
This most certainly conveys the impression of stolid dignity. I normally don't care much for portraits but I do like this. I agree with you on the sharpness but it's still an excellent post -

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
Well my dear, let me tell you something. I don't normally keep pictures of people but I'm keeping this one. It's as focused as it needs to be. Don't worry about that. This image holds my attention. The color is simply divine. Very realistic appearing.
Excellent. if I get in the VB it will get a 10. I don't give very many of those out.

After 50 years of photography I shoot for memories not perfection
I think we're all in agreement on this one. Now if everyone would/could cast a vote....
Anyway, to me he looks like a golden man. The lighting and the "softness" is perfect for this photo and I wouldn't wish for it to be any more clear than it is. It looks like a painting and one that's full of expression.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
I was thinking the same as Cindy...I thought it was ortonized...a soft portrait, I think it is great!

I can't believe that I finally got my license!
This is a portrait that speaks volumes Jan. The dignity and concentration in his eyes and face are wonderfully captured.
Very well done!

I love people shots and this portrait is outstanding! You captured him deep in thought and concentrating hard and he is obviously unaware that you are zooming in on him! great shot!
