Character

This photo you have here, it has power. This has no words, but it does not need any to convey the emotions of this man. I know that this man has a fine, honorable character, before I looked at the title. I knew this man was ready to make an impact on our hearts. I KNEW this man made me realize what I would have to do to also make an impact.

I knew that his character will finally be heard because of your efforts.

I like how you captured a side of his face that you do not always see. This is not a profile really, it is personality traits in facial features. It seems in so high definition, that I could touch his face, and feel the textures of his skin. Thats another thing as well.. The scars, the pain, it doesn't always show on the inside. His whole life story could be told on his appearance. Then again, there is still a lot I don't know about him that could never be explained through the naked eye.
I believe the Sepia, the exposure, and saturation you created was neatly signified. Not many people can play with that sort of thing, and come out with this. Trust me, I know. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>

A camera is a beautiful thing to have. Most people don't see the beauty as a photographer like you. But all the pictures you take, from the angle, to the lighting, it all depends on how you like it!

It reminds me of this amazing quote I heard
by Georgia O'Keeffe-

“I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly. I make up my own mind about it-how good or bad or indifferent it is. After that the critics can write what they please. I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.”

If you can't feel that way about your art, then listen to all the people who tell you to change things. I for one think you shouldn't have to have my opinion, because the opinion that matters most, is yours.

Thank you for this treat for my eyes. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> It is really a wonderful piece.
