I've been admiring your work for some time. It's nice that you're showing these images here, but I take it you are professional or show in galleries? I didn't find any information about that on your page here. Your web page merely says "page not found" in Portuguese. I wouldn't like to think you're *only* sharing these lovely images here, much as I appreciate it. You should have a book or something; that's my opinion. Chas.

image has it all

the man, his environment, something of the way he's dressed, even some glimpse of the lighting from the reflection on his glasses. You can't get much better in my book. Also, the warm tones add a feeling to the image. Thus complying with my basic caveat of not introducing color unless it contributes positively.

glasses

add that extra touch that separates this image from many other good portraits. it connects this man to his work (along with the fire in the background) and it adds a touch of whimsy or oddity (since the protective glasses are so oversized). Anyway, excellent portrait.

I looked at this picture briefly yesterday and was not surprised to see it as top photo on the site when I came back tonight. This is a masterful environmental portrait. Color, composition, and technicals all perfect. Very, very nice.

This is excellent; powerful.

A very dramatic portrait

I like the pose and lighting very much. The background, even though blurred, is quite interesting.

superb

Looks to be straight out of a N.G. assignment. Just a fantastic environmental portrait.

Great Portrait

I agree that the glasses help "make" the image.

Wonderful

Great bokeh, color, sharpness. The subject looking in to the camera with head tilted slightly away...everything about the photo is first class.

Bright Triangle

in the center is what makes it for me -- beautifully balanced shot, draws the eye very well.

Vibrant. . .

These rich dark shadows, Pedro and the light in the mid-frame make me think he is working at a hot forge. The portrait has a refined poignant grist. Additionally, his skin tones are fantastically rendered.

Reflections?

I keep coming back to the image (at least it confronts me on every logon due to its deserved success) certain of its quality, but somewhat disturbed by the reflection in the glasses (nit-picking? Certainly). Wonderful shot and speaks volumes.

a simple portrait this is not. One of the best I've seen thus far Pedro and its wonderful and National Geographic quality no less

I like it.

Gosto Muito!
