Skansen, Stockholm

Hmmm, not so wonderful with that thin DOF, but natural light isn't too great at this time of the year. It was getting dark here but he didn't want to turn on the lights yet. Oh well.

other sizes: small medium large auto

What a fantastic character study!! Vote

It's a wonderful picture , Anna, don't be so fussy about theDOF and the light ;^))! I didn't know that Santa had a second part time job as shoemaker in Sweden! But no doubts...it's Santa Claus, I recognized him! Marisa

This is one of the best, last time i came but forgot to vote Iannis

Guest		13-Nov-2005 22:51
This is my favorite. Excellent!

Cliff		08-Nov-2005 18:41
Add this to your masterpiece collection Anna. I think the DOF is perfect emphasizing his hands and his eyes. Such a beautiful exposure of an interesting subject - such warmth to this !

Kimberley Hannaman Taylor		14-Sep-2005 17:31
I think it's great. Sometimes the emotion of an image overrules the technical aspects. You can feel his concentration and anything other than natural light would simply not do for this. Wonderful capture. Voted. K in Vermont http://www.pbase.com/khtaylor

Bravo !!! Voted

Magnificent, I love this picture

Guest		21-Apr-2005 22:20
Anna, How fortunate the shoemaker did not want to turn on the lights. It is fabulous the way it is now. The image would be less interesting with a deep DOF. It's just perfect now. I hope your cobbler liked it too. - Sandy

Perfect light, perfect facial expression, this is a good work.

Guest		13-Jan-2005 03:12

very nice-defined image. couldn't be better!

Phil Douglis		01-Dec-2004 03:42
You have certainly mastered existing light to give life and realism to your images. While so many other photographers use flash to get "rid' of shadows, you use natural light and shadow to create mood, ambience, and meaning. And the comment about Rembrandt lighting is not far off. He brought his subjects out of the darkness into the light, and so do you.

Dale Unruh		28-Nov-2004 16:55
Anna: You are becoming the Rembrandt of portraits!

Ray :)		27-Nov-2004 21:59
I'm glad he hadn't turned on those wretced lights. I like how you've divided this photograph - one with the old man against a negative background and the other the tools of his craft superbly illuminated.

René Gysi		27-Nov-2004 21:37
Wonderful. Great picture Anna.

Leo Charette		27-Nov-2004 20:34
Anna.. this is outstanding! Beautiful light and that creates an excellent portrait. What a great character you found. This is one of your better images. My compliments.

Wonderful portrait Anna .

Herb		27-Nov-2004 17:16
Great portrait

Cliff		27-Nov-2004 17:08
Anna, this is a perfect addition to your low light people portraits. Just outstanding how you capture the flavour and detail of the scene.

Steve Pepple		27-Nov-2004 16:54
Very nice, it has a Norman Rockwell flavor to it.

Shu		27-Nov-2004 16:34
I didn't know Santa was a shoemaker!! Shu

katwilkens		27-Nov-2004 15:57
I love the low light that just illuminates his hands and face. Vermeer might have painted this scene.

Gayle P. Clement		27-Nov-2004 15:56
I do love the composition and the lighting is fine.

Louise Chevalier		27-Nov-2004 15:30
Excellent composition. Wonderfull colors and light.
