Hello Sultam,
Welcome back after a long absence,
This is an unusual portrait, featuring as much city environment as the portrait itself. The boy has a nice smile, still looking a bit awkward at working hard when he should be in school, or playing. The strong light has cast a sharp shadow on the ground but the boy is very well exposed. The PP has left some contours of lighter blue along the edges of the sky, which is almost unavoidable in cases as this where dark areas have to be lightened up.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Sultan,
interesting idea, a great chiaroscuro.
An interesting perspective of the street and this lonely boy with a basket
I hear the silence around . Only his smile it breaks.

Flaş kullanımı ve цzellikle de bu perspektif bakış зok işe yaramış...Balıkgцzь kullanılmış gibi adeta,nasıl verdiniz bu etkiyi?
Gцrьşmek ьzere,

hello Sultana
Back again on TE after a too long time.
Good low POV to take this baker and his shadow. The light reflecting on the white wall acts as a big reflector of flash to illuminate his face. he smiles seeing you in this position maybe
Good work.
Go on posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers

welcome back, sultan - I was wondering where you'd been :)
I like what Tomasz said - "only his smile breaks the silence". I agree - the boy's smile would lighten up the image even if everything around him were pitch-dark.
you have a particular way of working with contrast, lights and curves - it gives the images colour depth, almost a "thickness" - like a painter's creating layers and layers of paint, if you know what I mean..?
I like that a lot :)
have a good evening,
c.

Hello my dear Sultan

Great shot indeed! Nice framework, and perfect vivid color coordination and allocation. Composition is marvelous, specally for fresh blue sky.
His smile makes me happy and give me vaitality for tomorow.
