spasibo, yuri, for joining, and :wave welcome to dgrin!

i think you're really gonna like it here :D it take a little getting used to the new forum software (vs. dpreview) but you'll get the hang of it!

[Thiago Sigrist]

So glad to see you here at dgrin! :-)

Also, what a great start, huh? Your picture is great! The straight look works really well, the light was very nice, and your B&W conversion was nothing short of superb!

Spasibo for sharing!
Take care!

Yuri! Glad to see you joined! This is a great place to talk about photography and not have to listen to cry babies cry about ethics and what camera you are posting from.



Welcome and hope to see alot of your work here!

Welcome Yuri,

I love the texture of this shot. It has real depth and a very real "gritty" feel.

I am anxious to see more.

[wxwax]

Wow. This is so good I want to show it again.

Just like the others said, a great black and white, fantastic range. But more than anything, his eyes are electric. They just grab you and won't let go. Well worthy of any magazine, a wonderful shot, Yuri.

:clap Welcome aboard! Watch out for Gubbsie's wife, she'll try to cut your hair when she comes back from the pub.

[Andy]

all of yuri's portraits feature great eyes. he's not only excellent at shoot with his 707 but in post, he excels, too.

i'm hoping that yuri will contribute a small tutorial on how he gets the eyes to look so good :deal

[JubbaKing]

Very nice mood to this shot, Yuri! I like it but I do think the whites (only the whites) of the eyes should be darkened a tad.

YuriYuri - good to see you here. I've always enjoyed your portraits on STF. This one really ROCKS.

[Michiel de Brieder]

Spasibo for another great portrait and welcome to Dgrin, may we enjoy your company and excellent work for a long time!!!

[Harryb]

Privet, Yuri, :clap


Its always a pleasure to see your work. I look forward to seeing a lot more of your work in the future.

[Steve Cavigliano]

Welcome Yuri :wave

Nice to see you here. What took you so long? :rofl

As others have written, that's one super portrait. And yeah, the eyes got me too. Well, they got me, but not as bad as they got Lynn :lol

I'll be looking forward to any tips/techniques/tutorials you feel like posting. Especially, if it'll make my pitchas look better :wink Please don't suggest wearing really dark glasses when I view my pics. I've already tried it, and it doesn't help :dunno

Anyhow, welcome aboard Yuri :clap and even though you are new to this site, I'm sure you recognize many of the names. I hope you feel at home soon :-)

So many actors are sporting this look lately. A good looking young man despite the attempt to look fierce. Welcome to dgrin.

[Yuri Pautov]

I'm very happy to be here. Of course, I need some time to get acquaint with this site and its 'widgets' (as we say here in Russia).

Ah yes, the widgets, you're not alone, I'm still trying to sort it all out. Where's the FAQ or HOW TO page? LOL

It gets easier with each visit.

Yuri.

Very beautiful shot. I like the composition too. And he's a very beautiful boy!

If he's tall (6ft plus), some western model agencies might be interested in him - I used to work for one many years ago here in the UK.
