A fine portrait, Hugo!! (I've had to go right back in your portfolio to find a picture that I haven't commented on!)
My only slight quibble with this is the burnt-out white line down the nose, but I guess that would have been difficult to avoid with such a range of light and shade.
The number of views and comments you amass for your work is, I'm sure, a testament to the high quality of your work and the helpfulness of your comments.
Best regards, Chris

this is a great photo, he looking at you with the corner of his eye, He has a nice maintaned beard, he is dressed nicely. the black and the white is so nice. I dont know who he is but he much be extremely rich, with all that wealth coming off him, but with all that he doesnt look very happy. I think I know if I had a heap of money, with a swimming pool, surround sound in every room, my own chef and cleaner, I would be jumping off the walls.

The documentary photography ,such as a progress,report,recording,enviromental or human social life, is an evidence of what is, or had happened.
Seeing those series photos, ,to me they are representing portrait category rather documentary.
Persons including in such documentary photography, normally involved, with surrounding elements and ?fallen? more in the way of field of social life activity ects. rather in face expression, apart from the ?title?, the images themselves are of great values and qualities, well done ,Saeed

Hi Jon, Thanks for your comment. I'll have to get back to you on the JPEG question (and I will...;o)
But for the record, It is not my local mullah, nor am I living in Iran (nor am I Iranian...) My wife and I went to Iran on holiday, and we were there in the right place at the right time to do some documentary work for Dutch television and the UN....'
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,
Another very good photo, You caught this man mullah with his eyes just saying what he really is and feels. The angle (again) is almost everything on this picture. I wonder if they use their power with wisdom...
Cheers

Wonderful character, great portrait. His glance is very expressive, the lighting, the strong but not oversaturated colors matches the subject perfectly.

Hi Hugo,
As per your description, this man's eyes sure says it all! You caught it perfectly. And I very much like the extreme closeup! Wonderful composition!

My congrats. Neil

hugo, wonderful capture! this doesn't look like it was shot from the hip, how did you manage to get it? this guy looks extremely suspicious and looks very unhappy to have a camera pointed at him. excellent realization of the subject and situation. my favorite of the series as it has that elusive "tension" you always look for. simply wonderful!
take care & keep 'em coming,
tom

Hoi Hugo, aangezien ik over de afzonderlijke foto's niet zo veel te zeggen heb wil ik hier maar even kwijt dat ik het WEL een heel fraaie serie vind. Je weet de diverse personen heel karakteristiek te pakken en het verhaalt met de achtergrond voegt duidelijk toe aan het verhaal wat je aan het vertellen bent.
Kortom, ga zo door. Ik geniet in stilte..;)

A rather forbidding presence. And your portrait shows that very clearly. For once, I don't miss the catchlights in the eyes. The dark, blank look seems quite appropriate! Thanks for your detailed comments on my three themed pictures. Peoples' varied reactions and recommendations (including yours) very much parallel the problems I was aware of as I took and then cropped the resulting pictures. I think I am beginning to get the hang of this "people" thing...

Hi John, A mullah is a religious person, The black turband implies he's a (very distant) relative of prophet Mohammed. They hold tremendous power in Iran.
Cheers, and thanks for your comment!

Dag Teunis, Ik weet het; heb er ook last van gehad (deze foto nog niet...) Een of andere eikel heeft kennelijk erg veel moeite zich te gedragen.... Ik weet, dat Al bezig is een oplossing hiervoor in te bouwen.
Groeten,

Hallo Hugo
Opnieuw een mooi portrait
Hij ziet er nog niet zo oud uit.
Weet jij Hugo wat er met de ratings aan de hand is er is blijkbaar een grapjas bezig die hele lage ratings geeft zonder te zeggen waarom en wie hij of zij is. Dit moest toch niet mogelijk zijn.
Groet Teunis
