Hi, Everyone. I'm a "thorough amature".. a doctor by profession and new to this site. Actually this is my first upload. Would appreciate your comments and critique.
Thanks and regards
Humayun


Hasan Ozkapici   {K:502} 5/18/2005
Nice shot!


Robin Sanderse   {K:2283} 5/18/2005
Hi Humayun,
Great pic, nice found: combining the child and the painting! The colours come close..
Well, hope to see more of your work, so we can learn of eachothers work (I'm a beginner too, so a lot to learn in this great hobby!).
Thanks,
Robin


Marian Man   {K:73860} 5/18/2005

Jimmy Payne   {K:21163} 5/18/2005
Welcome to Usefilm, Humayun. Your first post is a winner. An unsmiling but lovely "Monalisa" in such a beautiful setting works magic. Your use of the oilpaint effect blurs the background enough to draw the viewers' eyes right to the young lady. Well done, doctor.

Regards, Jimmy


Zannoni Matteo   {K:12211} 5/18/2005
bello l'effetto pittorico dello sfondo,

pace e salute, M.


Eric Peterson   {K:4213} 5/19/2005
Very nice work. The oil paint effect on the background works well here. The green in the background picks up on the girl's outfit and helps hold the image together, keeping it from having a pasted together look, while the off center placement and sharpness of the subject helps establish her as the focal point of the photo and draws attention to her expression.

Eric


Humayun Rizwan   {K:3223} 5/19/2005
Don't understand a word of what u wrote, my friend. (looks like Italian!?) But I have a feeling that it's something good!! :-)
Thanks a lot


Humayun Rizwan   {K:3223} 5/19/2005
Dear Eric,
Thanks a lot for ur "Excellent" comment (at least thats how I rated it) Exactly what I thought while giving it the oilpaint effect.. that the green in the river goes very well with the color of her shirt. Thanks once again. I'm glad u liked it.


Humayun Rizwan   {K:3223} 5/19/2005
Thanks, Jimmy. for ur really nice comments a very warm welcome. Looks like a GREAT community. This is my second visit here (in 2 days).. still learning. Don't know whether to respond to each comment on my photo or is there a way to post a reply that everyone who commented can see? would appreciate ur help with this. Thanks once again.. I'm glad u like the picture. Looking forward to seeing more of ur work.. and sharing mine.
Regards


Humayun Rizwan   {K:3223} 5/19/2005
Thanks Robin, Looking forward to sharing and learning from u and others.
Cheers


Humayun Rizwan   {K:3223} 5/19/2005
THANKS Marian, Glad u liked it.


Jimmy Payne   {K:21163} 5/19/2005
Humayun, I know of no way to respond to every comment with just one reply. What I see on this site is that a person gets few if any comments unless that person comments on others postings. One way to respond to a comment received is to thank that person when commenting on one of their post. I find all the commenting very time consuming; therefore, I comment on a just few posts each day and usually to the same few people. I do always return the courtesy of commenting to those that leave a comment on my post, as I did with yours.
By the way, my doctor's hobby is also photography.
Best wishes, Jimmy


andree lerat   {K:17140} 5/19/2005
Beautiful combination of techniques. You did a good job blending the little girl and the manipulated background.

You've captured a beautiful expression on the child's face. Almost timeless.

Welcome to UF. Hope you learn as much as I do and feel inspired by all the wonderful photographers on this site.

Best regards, Andree


Anunay Nayak   {K:2771} 5/19/2005

Welcome to US. I too am an amateur and have learnt so much here. I am sure you will enjoy it.
Lovely effect you have made here. Isn't she lovely. Well done.


Lori Stitt   {K:74568} 5/25/2005
Hello Humayun,

I love this wonderful image, nicely done indeed!
Beautiful soft lighting on the pretty young lady, and I love how you gave the oil effect only to the background. At first I thought she might have been standing in front of a painting.

Beautifully done,
Lori :)

ps..looks like you are new here....WELCOME!

Mark Julian   {K:36430} 5/25/2005
Dear Humayun, Another great shot. Very interesting the oilpaint effect you gave this - I'm sure it looks fine in it's natural state. I must look in my Atlas to see how far Isfahan is from Tehran. I was thinking of going to at least Tehran if I do a planned visit to UAE / Oman in about 5 or 6 months. I'd love to do this trip. Take care, Mark PS. Thank you for your kind words on my shots.


Humayun Rizwan   {K:3223} 5/25/2005
Thanks, Mark for your comments. If you are planning to go to Iran.. you must vist Isfahan. It not very far from Tehran and its a beautiful historic city with lots of places to see and capture. Tehran is just a big city like any other! If your plans are finalized.. just let me know, I'll suggest a few place you shouldn't miss!
Best regards

What else would u call a doctor.. with a point & shoot camera? :-)
Thanks, Hulya... Glad u liked it


Dr. Rafael Springmann   {K:87618} 5/28/2005
This is the photo which, after seeing just its caption, made me wirte that you had a sense of humor, Humayun. Seein the woman's face, however, and reading your "about" in you "Out of the box", I retract my words. I don't mean that you don't have a sense of humor, but your photos are very serious. I don't think that the lack of a smile on the face of the woman in this photo is a coincidence. I think that it coveys, in a slightly different way, what you wanted to express in the above mentioned photo. The backgound in this photo does remind of the one in the original Mona Lisa and does look like the one of that painting.
Last night (March 27th) I sent you my book and uttered some speculations. So far I received no confirmation or reply, but I think it has to do with it being Friday.
Thank you so much for your very generous comment on my "Prayer at 30.000 feet."
Best regards,
Rafi
