The "BEST" photo on this site. PERIOD.Cartier Bresson-esque.

Serban Mestecaneanu thanks Chris, you are very kind to put me even close to Bresson :-)

Brilliant capture, Serban. You're a wonderfull storyteller. What captures my imagination in this photograph is the strict composition and the powerful simplicity.....and then there's that bible, full of detail... and the magnifying glass. What is he reading? What is it in this book that made him mark off these particular passages? Intrigue and yet very subtle. Thanks for showing it.

All the best.

Great Capture... I have a photo related to this in my unaccepted list. :). that is because I made a border getting more attention to the person. After I remove it, you can check it out...I'm really nervous when I meet a subject and can't take a shot because I'm afraid. This is why I understand that these kind of shots are not so easy to make.

Serban Mestecaneanu thanks John, I agree with you, however, trying to get closer can sometimes be easier than we think

Serban, another beauty! I like all the markers hanging out of the side of the Bible, and how concentrated he looks, like nothing can bother him while reading.

Serban Mestecaneanu Ursula, this exactly what attracted me to take this shot, initially I said that I should not disturbed him, but I could not resist .. :-)

Great capture in somewhat tough surroundings! I love the concentration in the priest's face! The head in the BG is a little distracting, but again...tough surroundings. :) Wonderful contrast...I like this VERY much!

Serban Mestecaneanu Emily, thanks for your comments, I started to like the face in the BG after a while... it adds character to the image and shows a little bit more on the environment the image was taken

Serban Mestecaneanu thanks Ulf, I remember I could take only one shot, the boat I was in, was half full with priests and I felt like interupting with my camera
