horourke - Nov, 20 2007 07:11am This picture in addition to the poignant citizenship information contains a great statement of the personality and art of the musician. The incredible detail of his eyes in addition to the overall sharpness of the image reminds me of a musical giant in Ireland. Seamus Ennis was a piper (Uilleann Pipes) and he attained a similar enraptured state in his playing. Very beautifully captured janchan - Nov, 20 2007 07:11am Thank you very much, Hugh... I appreciate your comment a lot. This man is indeed a great musician... and he can play several traditional instruments. rangutan - Nov, 20 2007 08:11am Well done Gianluca, one of the best portraits here! [4.55] trekkerman - Nov, 25 2007 10:11am this mans face seems to convey emotion - possibly sadness, its like he is remembering something/ someone missing from his life, and the music he plays brings up that emotion. great pic, the moment captured well, dont know if im right, but it was my take/ perception of this pic. thanks for sharing it !!
