the background is not smoothly gradual here because of the exporting process of the picture in a small size, the original size doesn't suffer from this problem at all.

This shot is awesome! Love the processing. The only thing I can think that might help it is if the dark side of his head had just a teeny bit of light on it. Also, maybe if his jeans had a hair less light on them. But this really is just nit-picking, the photograph is stunning just like it is!

Haitham,

your postprocessing is absolutely stunning. As is the material your start with. Purely professional, perfect lighting, great subject and pose - a real character. I almost hear him playing. I especially admire how much detail there is in the image and you are able to bring this out in postprocessing.

Yes, I also like the color version much better that then b/w one.

Regards, Herwig

Another great portrait. The lighting is very nice for this. It looks like this is a rework of a previous submission that was black and white. This version I like much better. Your post work on this has some how given a more dramatic feel. Nicely done.

I'm not certain, but I believe it is called a melodica.
