Cool photo and I love the fact you can see the photographer looking straight down the lens reflected in the sunglasses

thanks to sharing this photo……
I also learnt the basic photography rules from Mr. Kishore Mamillapalli who is one of the leading wildlife photographers from South Africa. He used to say that “Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder”. If you like what you see on your camera screen, or through the viewfinder, you will like the photograph.

There are some basic photography rules for composition. Once you know these rules, you can use them, ignore them, or break them. Follow your gut, and you will end up with spectacular, sometimes breathtaking results. Kishore is really an astonishing wild life photographer and has a great eye for details..

I like this photo. I like the way that the photographer is captured in the lens of the shades. To get really good portrait photos I would use the Canon 550D with the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens stopped right down to 1.8. Doing this will get you some really nice photos with the background thrown out of focus.

I love this photo. It showed both the old and modern world in one
It was almost perfect until I saw you on the lens of the sunglasses taking a photo. Funny but it still looks great! I’ll look forward for more fantastic photos.

It’s sad that the “modern” always seems to seep in somehow – and it takes away from the authenticity of the traditional. This is such a great commentary shot…

Hey,

I really enjoyed your photo. The things I really liked was your framing, the colors and other photographic elements. Usually putting yourself in the photo (via the guys sun glasses) is a mistake in photography, but I think it works with this photo. Overall great job!
