    Comon people, give Antoni some POSITIVE feedback - this is not your ordinary photo and it is not that hard to type in few words of appreciation.

    Although I love the subject and the emotion, I have to agree here... the leaning to the right doesn't work for me and is a distraction.

    I love the feeling of this shot - excellent capture. The leaning doesn't bother me.

    thanks for all comments. As it is about "... leaning to the right" I simply didn't notice it... But it's one click i PS' to do it, so it's not a big thing I guess

    regards

    EDIT

    I've tried to straight it out, so it would be mathematicly proper...
    But somehow in my humble opinion, it looks worst eek7.gif

    And I've attached additional, one more photo to make the story
    more "complete"

    Regards

    Awesome image! I see what others mean by leaning to the right. And, usually I prefer "straight lines". However, I think the "lean" in this image gives more emotional impact to the subject--IMHO. So, I like as is.

    I agree with the above opinion of the "lean" giving more emotional impact. For me the shot portrays emotional imbalance....he appears very fragile and disturbed. I think his world may be falling apart, so sliding off to the side is not so very inappropriate! Great conversion and mesmerizing scene!

    the lean may be weird, but i think i like it.
    i really enjoy the wide angle use for the first picture.

    Love these. The background is simply brilliant to shoot against, heck evena bottle of milk wuld have been interesting, but the man has such intensity and innner turmoil that you captured (or created with him) very well. I also like the smokeless cig vs the smoking cig. Nicely done.

    I have to ask though, what was the light source? In the first pic there seems to be a cirlce of drak creeping in from the edges as well, was that done in post or just the lens vignetting?

    The light was kind of, weak for this shot. So I had to go ISO 1600 and even there, I had 1/20 s on 17 mm on my 17-40L ...
    The vignetting was added in ACR, during RAW conwersion

    As it is about background, I have to agree that it is very important in the pictures. By the way, it is the same place as in this picture

    Thanks a lot for all Your comments ...

    I like the lean to the right. One might look at this photo and see it as symbolic. It has a strong emotional impact. Leaning to the right brings attention to the open door. Open doors can have a lot of meaning in their own. I think part of the beauty of photography is that like paintings, or other forms of art, it can be interpreted many different ways.

    I like it.
