I like this portrait, he really seems thinkging and he also want to sy something. As i heard, when someone hold the hand in front of the mouth it means there?s something to say! I like the soft blur and the composition are good!?

Great expression and pose. Although the image is a bit soft it really works because of the involvement of the Gamal. Great work Mohamed.

Very nice portrait of your friend Mohamed. Nice tribute. Love the b/w and his posture. Lighting is very good.


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 8/23/2005
Very nice portrait indeed Mohamed with great composition, I like the grainy effect in here as well and converting it to B&W is really cool, I only wish it was sharper with more focus, for sure we all need faster lens in dim light condition,
very well done,
Regards,


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 8/23/2005
Wonderful reflective moment captured dear Mohamed...I like your about, the way you describe your relationship with your friend...very nice...and the black and white tones are very nice, he looks wise and strong...very well done...:):)Linda


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30030} 8/23/2005
This is a very special portrait. He does look lost in thought. The soft focus adds to this effect and, while this would otherwise be a flaw, it is not one in this instance. Antonia


ahmed saied   {K:8725} 8/23/2005
Wounderful Portrait and good presentation , a piece of white paper near the dark side of his face , will make it more brighter .

A beautiful portrait and the use of natural light is superb.
Shame that it is a little soft.

But it is a fine picture of a dear friend and that is all that matters.

Mohamed my friend. He looks strong with intent and to me not that happy. Very good capture.

Your friend,

Mark Mahar   {K:3227} 8/26/2005
This has so much meaning because as you say...30 years of frienship. A wonderful tribute to your dear friend. I think it is great. -mm


Nando Mondino   {K:13989} 8/26/2005
Great expression and beautiful portrait.


Carsten Ranke   {K:14453} 8/27/2005
It is a great portrait, despite its technical flaws being somewhat blurry. "A true work of art is the creation of love, love for the subject first and for the medium second" (Elliot Porter, Photographer). You have made a great job conveying your passion, your feelings towards your friend. A very successful portrait
Congrats
Carsten


Ursula Luschnig   {K:21809} 8/29/2005

NN     {K:26787} 8/29/2005
Hi Mohamed! An eye-catching portrait! Love the dark mood here, and his pensive expression. Excellent stuff! Have a good day!


Ian McIntosh   {K:38813} 8/30/2005
Beautiful.
Great to be able to do this for a friend. Beyond me at the moment.
Nice shadows.


Victor Weiner   {K:490} 8/30/2005
This IS a 7! Superb lighting, I love the softness and the shadows. Besides it seems to me that your friend Gamal is a very sensitive and wise person - this is the expression on his face. Congratulations!


Carlos     {K:12969} 9/2/2005
Easy to see why Gamal was thrilled with the portrait Mohamed. Yes it is blurred? Yes it could be better contrasted. But it is beautifully framed (even though I don?t like to see titles on the images?)
There are pictures which apart from of all apparent ?flaws?, manage to convey a true feeling, a genuine sentiment. This is such a picture ? I understand why Gamal liked seeing himself this way! Fine work.
