I agree with the other comment, a truely great photo.
:iconaperfectnightmare:
I love it, though it sadly reminsd me of that scene from that movie ray, you know where his brother dies... Yeah I try not to remember that scene for it always makes me want to cry or something. Anywho I love the contrast you managed to achieve, that and the whole composition was pretty great in this picture.

The small dof makes the subject stand out as we are not too bothered by whats in the background. The black and white effect gives it a news paper look, making it look really creditable, something you would see in the LIFE magazine. I give this picture a 5 out of 5. Keep up the great work!

If the saying "You are what you eat" is true, then I must be a hot latina!

Great composition and focus!
:iconevergr3y:
damn this is a brilliant capture! maybe you should've left more space on top and on one of the sides to improve the composition.. but that's only a suggestion :)
very nice :nod:

this has to be one of the most amazing shots i have seen on DA. great job with it

Sorry I don't know the movie. It was shot with a 200mm lens 3.5 or something hence the small dof. I took about 4 shots to get one that is right.

The compliment you make is a great one, thank you.
