hair, a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

This sadhu from Pashupatinath was already there during our trip to Nepal in 2004 (see picture at http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Nepal/photo144678.htm) One year later, he is still there. We actually brought pictures of them from our previous trip. We will probably not go this year but hopefully in 2007. He will most likely still be there.
He wanted to show here how long his hair is.

The light on him and the dark background made this possible. Nice of center position in the frame and ample room in front of him. A very good work.

Hello Michel,
excellente cette image, la netteté est remarquable.
Il ne pouvait pas être mieux éclairé et il ressort très bien sur ce fond sombre.
Super portrait, a+

Bonsoir Michel,
tres belle image (super piqué ) de ce Sadhu qui l'image de Shiva porte ses cheveux extrêmement longs.
l'exposition est parfaite malgres une lumiere difficile (il etait surement dans sa recherche de l'illumination :-)))
Amicalement.

Bonsoir Michel,
malgre une lumiere un poil forte, cette image est superbement cadree, laissant de l'espace pour sa fantastique chevelure. Le partage en lumiere et sombre equilibre bien la photo.
AMities

Hello Michel,
It is the contrasts of light and dark that make up for the composition which is exquisite. The light falling on his thick strands of hair in front of the dark shadowy areas are really beautiful. Interesting image... I was wondering how it is that sadhus show off anything, for they are to be unconcerned with the phenomenal world...

great. Not posed. I adore it.
One thing though - the background is a little distracting. I'd rather see him in more detail than having this compo with something distracting in the bacground. I'd crop it differently.
Otherwise perfetto!
regards,
Joanna

Bel exemple de sadhuisme, un model tres photogénique et qui sait en vivre.
Le cadrage est un peu plus discutable surtout a cause de l'arriere plan (carton sunflower).
Un petit WS juste pour voir.
ciao

Michel bonjour - très belle image avec ce background dans l'ombrfe et le shadu en pleine lumière - c'est remarquablement fait -
Je ne pensais pas qu'un homme puisse avoir des cheveux aussi longs -
Merci et bonne journée
Gaby

An incredible looking man with amazing hair that is all you need to show in this shot.I fail to see why you did not crop out that right hand third of the shot that has nothing in it and concentrate totally on the sadhu.

eleparc (24063) 2006-01-13 16:25

Hello Michel Hair, celle là etait facile;-)) haha! j'adore ce genre de portrait tellement décalé par rapport à ce qu'on connait en europe. bine vu mais jaruais peut etre pousé les tons orangés de la peau...

ksoloduc (324) 2006-01-14 3:49

love this picture - it's differetn, has interesting character in it, and plus technically everthings seems to be working (though I'm not an expert in that field)

great job!

hi Michel,surely a most original person tro photograph...a really great quality of the shot- not only the sharpness and colours, but aslo good composition.
best regards

markoci (3933) 2006-01-16 17:41

a nice catch michel, very nice. are you sure this is not a repost from you? i have this incredible feeling of deja vu. maybe it's a common scene with this pose and long hair. either way, a beautiful image.

(for some reason i'm thinking of a closer crop on the left, not sure..)

keribar (43841) 2006-01-16 22:10

Salut Michel,

La première chose qui me vient a l'esprit est de savoir comment on se lave de tels cheveux ? Ce que j'aime ici c'est le fond noir qui contraste avec cette crinière immense.

Bonens salutations - Izzet
