NIGHT WATCH

Uploaded: April 06, 2007

Description

I have used single light head fitted with Honeycomb Grid and barn doors, to give the impression as if light is falling from the oil lamp.
Have a good day friends!

Striking Image Rakesh!!! Outstanding lighting, contrast, color, WELL COMPOSED and quite beautiful!!! VERY Well Done! Cheers, Glenn. #4142405

Nikki McDonald level-classic April 08, 2007

This is an amazing photo, Rakesh. The model is wonderful, the lighting effect is absolutely what you wanted, and the composition is perfect. I love the way the man's staff, the fabric draped over his shoulder, and his upraised arm divide the field ever so subtly into thirds and that on a slight diagonal. But it is the lantern and face (and the hand gripping the staff) that capture and hold my interest. I'm with others--a big winner for sure. #4142666
