This Hero fought for Turkish independence war in the west side of
Anatolia.We call them (EFE).He wears his traditional uniform on the
celebration of the independence day.This is honor for him. Also we
are proud of them.
This is a wonderful portrait but does appear somewhat overexposed on my monitor (23" Cinema Display). I also viewed it on one of our PCs (also an LCD monitor) and it is still a bit overexposed. Minor adjustments in PS would fix this and make the colors stand out even more. Otherwise, a magnificent photo of a hero.
Mehmet, I'm very sorry if the info I gave you regarding the possible overexposure was incorrect. I checked again on one of our PC laptops with an LCD monitor and again on my Apple Cinema Display and also a Dell PC (desktop) with an LCD monitor, all of which have been recently calibrated. I was trying to give helpful feedback, not to in any way criticize your wonderful portrait, and I apologize if my intentions were misunderstood. I will be more cautious before I give technical input which I am not qualified to give.
I'm glad to see you are adding more portraits to your portfolio you have a great eye for it, and this is an excellent choice. I love the colors of the costume and the texture of the wood in his hand and the very simple chair. Most of all i love his expression of pride mixed with humility. Great portrait Mehmet
In a perfect world where we would be interested in more sincere and constructive inputs, I would have to agree with Cathy Brown on this image being slightly over exposed. It is evident in the skin tones and the garment colors. But the fact is that I'm not sure if it could have been captured much better than already had been. I think it's just the nature of the lighting here probably with no softener, modifier or difusers. We try to do best under circumstances and hope that the opportunity will present itself better next time.
Turky is no short of local and national heros and thank you for bringing them to us.
Regards.
Technically, as indicated by 2 other comments, there is just a tad amount of clippping. If highlights were brought down to approx 250 then the technical aspect of your great hero's photo would be right on.
