Really interesting photo! Great job!

I love the color of your photos. The processing makes them appear classic, and bit ‘out of time’ kind feeling.
Great portrait here, I love the way he looks at you, as if wondering what you up to

Well done shots again, Daniel. I really like the way you present the beauty of models and the daily of Bombay. They both come up so well in your range of photography.

Completely awesome
Really looks like film, or is it just really nice, subtle “retro” processing??
