Thanks, Avi! Oh, I love that lens too! ;)
Ciao, Paolo


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
The lens itself is very sharp and, together with a bit of digital lightroom, I have achieved this look. A good role has been played by lighting that was really perfect.


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Many thanks, Jason!
Regards, Paolo


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Thanks, Yazeed!
Regards, Paolo


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Thanks, Luis, for your considerations.
Btw, I had both versions but I preferred the color one because colors play an important role in directing the attention to the man's face, hands and shoes. Nonetheless, I'm attaching the BW ver.
Best regards, Paolo

BW Version


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Grazie, Luciano.
Questo e' esattamente cio' che mi ha ispirato il titolo.


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Many thanks, Esra!

Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Thank you, Bubai, for pointing out what you most like in the picture.
Best regards, Paolo


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
Many, many thanks, Txules!
The scene lighting was really fantastic by itself and it has been simple to enhance (to the limit of exageration) its effect.
As soon as I saw him, I thought "This is a Caravaggio paint"...a matter of seconds and the camera rised to "steal" this urban portrait.
If you take a look at my previous replies, you can see the BW version too.
Best regards, Paolo


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 1/23/2009
