It's Pruning time

In Lebanon, an apple tree is considered the king of fruits. Growers plant them at altitudes varying between 1000 and 2000 meters above sea level.

The produce they got from that high altitude soil is considered amongst the best in the world.

The guy pruning his trees is also know as "King of the mountain" among his community!

Thanks for looking.

You are developing a very recognisable style Rori. The wide angle accentuates the hand and pruning shears in the foreground, drawing attention to them. As his living is focused on his work with the land this accentuates the importance of it. I would like to see more of the man too, I'm sure you must have shot his portrait a number of times. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed Rob, I've shot too many portraits of this man including the one above. all are part of an award winning documentary that is about to be screened in Lebanon. I've posted more of him here before.

Thanks for your feedback amigo.

Thank you Charles. Nice to hear from you.

Dramatic lighting on the man's face and a strong composition make this an exceptional portrait. Really great work.

Is this an blip of flash?

Not sure either. I am no big fan of light up with flashlights.

For my taste it is to dominant in this case.

Sorry but I prefer reflectors......

Thanks for the feedback SS. I also am not a fan of flashes but I had to, it's for a specific project.
