A good character study, well captured. I like the selective desaturation.

This is the first portrait I see from you, and it is great, so full of mood, so peaceful, the soft colors are very beautiful! Congrats!

What a beautiful and characteristic portrait! I'm sure he has a lot of stories to tell!

Excellent capture, and the desaturation works perfectly. I really like this one.

very good shot

Sharp and detailed, well done desat. Good work, top score

Hey Marek, it has been awhile I have never seen you.
And I have never seen a potrait work from you.
IMHO the desaturated kicked asses here. Looks lovely and soft.
The detail is soo good too.
Agree with Jose completely.

I like the desaturated look of the image, very good!

hello MAREK... nice to see U again... i hope that u will be more active with public. Your artworks because latest time U litlle forg. about Us
anyway... nice capture, good try with this soft colours (unsaturation)... of course it's Your taste but in my opinion this picture looks little too uncontrasted... maybe u can fix this by some trick with levels but as i said as i can see now - it's too uncconcrete and by this view u lose some details especialy in light areas for exampke hairs of this man looks little too bright on grass pattern... but is detail and who cares -- i like this picture for a catched moment and capture... by the way - this moved hand is now a really fashionable style in fotography... nice work...

Very nice !
Very sharp

you are right Andrzej, there are two problems.
1) my monitor where i work with my photographies is calibrated for comercial print. when i see this picture on the monitor with internet computer i see it is a little uncontrasted
2) when i try to give a more contrast to this one, i loose some details, how you said, in lights and shadows...
thanks for your construction critique Andrzej!

This is so expresive! I love the desat, it suits the mood here so much. Perfect portrait, very good job!

The background tones matches this hair in some way... good shot!

Yes, maybe it needs of a bit more contrast...
...but I think it can work in this way as well...lately I've seen a lot of photos with this style....Nice portrait! Glad to see another work from you!

The capture is great. I cant post a critic about the details. But the photo is so sensitive and beautiful.

Nice piece, I like the desaturation, it seems to work well with the mood. You certainly picked a guy with a lot of character, perfect subject for a portrait. I think the cropping (if any) is good, but i think i would have cropped out the grass in the top right corner, but you probably didn't want to take out that much of his head. Great work!

I love this work, for me the desaturation provides a beautiful soft contrast with the hardness of your subject. The man has so much character . all good for me ...no crits at all on this one
Keith

Great detail and background.

this is really awesome... the low saturation? well the lack of bright colors really helps the mood of this one and the guy has perfect facial expresson. well dont i like ^_^

nice.. great capture

What a beautiful photo and an excellent shot, I love the mood and the composition, very well done

A little bit washed colors but anyway good portrait.

my PS is also set for commercial print and i have this same problem. the images always turn out brighter and unsaturated. try turning down the brightness and turning up the contrast before saving... i know you lose details here and there, but its better than having it saved completely off.

i really like this portrait...its fantastic, i dont have any crits - i hardly mind the low contrast. =) top marks

Nice, but not as special as your landscape photography.

Very nice shot, strong emotion on this portrait I love the desat work, it fits well the subject. Well done!

Good technique....but not enough soul!....maybe If you could get your camera to eye level or lower....you can catch more soul....this way looks like you superior to he.....no offense...you very good profesional.

This will be very beautiful too with some sepia filter
+7 Very nice work

Great portrait! You did capture a lot of personality with this shot. Nice work!
