    Privet Yuri!
    So glad to see you here at dgrin! :-)

    Also, what a great start, huh? Your picture is great! The straight look works really well, the light was very nice, and your B&W conversion was nothing short of superb!

    Spasibo for sharing!
    Take care!

    Welcome Yuri,

    I love the texture of this shot. It has real depth and a very real "gritty" feel.

    I am anxious to see more.

    Wow. This is so good I want to show it again.

    Just like the others said, a great black and white, fantastic range. But more than anything, his eyes are electric. They just grab you and won't let go. Well worthy of any magazine, a wonderful shot, Yuri.

    clap.gif Welcome aboard! Watch out for Gubbsie's wife, she'll try to cut your hair when she comes back from the pub.

    yuri and the eyes
    all of yuri's portraits feature great eyes. he's not only excellent at shoot with his 707 but in post, he excels, too.

    i'm hoping that yuri will contribute a small tutorial on how he gets the eyes to look so good deal.gif

    Very nice mood to this shot, Yuri! I like it but I do think the whites (only the whites) of the eyes should be darkened a tad.

    Welcome Yuri wave.gif

    Nice to see you here. What took you so long? rolleyes1.gif

    As others have written, that's one super portrait. And yeah, the eyes got me too. Well, they got me, but not as bad as they got Lynn :lol

    I'll be looking forward to any tips/techniques/tutorials you feel like posting. Especially, if it'll make my pitchas look better mwink.gif Please don't suggest wearing really dark glasses when I view my pics. I've already tried it, and it doesn't help ne_nau.gif

    Anyhow, welcome aboard Yuri clap.gif and even though you are new to this site, I'm sure you recognize many of the names. I hope you feel at home soon :-)

    Ah yes, the widgets, you're not alone, I'm still trying to sort it all out. Where's the FAQ or HOW TO page? Laughing.gif

    It gets easier with each visit.

    Yuri.

    Very beautiful shot. I like the composition too. And he's a very beautiful boy!

    If he's tall (6ft plus), some western model agencies might be interested in him - I used to work for one many years ago here in the UK.
