During a visit to the museum.
Portrait of the owner of Canada museum.
The Canada War Museum of Mr. Gilbert Van Landschoot was opened on 28 June 1995 by the Representative of His Majesty the King, and many Belgian and Canadian prominent at Adegem - Maldegem. This private museum was established as a result of a promise to his father who was struck in 1987 by a heart attack.
I hope that you enjoy it

Hello dear John,
Another topclass "portrait" in your gallery.
I think your portraits shall get priority during the next days compared with your beautiful landscapes of Flanders.
This is really -what Germans would say- a perfect Charakterhead. Nice simple framing.
TFS and have a nice weekend

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Un portrait c'est difficile à réaliser, il faut qu'il y ait une certaine complicité entre le photographe et le personnage.
Ici, c'est une réussite complète.
Le résultat est remarquable.
Amitiés.

Hello John,
I am sure this gentleman appreciated the fine portrait. It is a remarkably sharp photo and very well exposed. The only slightly disturbing thing is the blurred inclusion of the green containers in the background.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
A superb head and shoulders portrait with good use of a shallow dof and perfect sharpness that reveals the man's weathered facial features. Tfs!

Hello John,
Excellent portrait of this museum owner, who is not afraid to look the camera directly in the face, the sign of a strong character. Perfectly exposed with excellent colours and sharpness.

Hello John,
You must be getting a reputation for taking these close-ups of people with interesting faces! I wouldn't be surprised if you started getting commissions to photograph people!
This is a genuinely good portrait!
The expression is straight at the camera, the eyes sharp with a good catchlight.
The details are sharp, the colours subtle and the b/g is softly oof to prevent ant distractions.
I bet the guy asked for a copy of this photograph! Well, who wouldn't!
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

You really got close to catch this portrait. Beard and hair match well. I like his calm expression and blurry background.

Hallo John,
Een prachtig en haarscherp portret van deze man. De scherpte laat de details van zijn gezicht, zijn haar en zijn mooie baard uitstekend zien. Mooi werk!

Vidunderlig historie, og et vidunderligt portræt. Detaljerne er så skarpe at man kan tælle alle hår i hans skæg. Han kigger direte i cameraet, som giver en følelse som om han kigger direkte i min sind.
Kærlig hilsen.
Amazing story, amazing portrait. The deatils are so sharp that one could count the hairs in his beard. He looks straigt into the camera, gives the feeling as if he's looking straight into my soul.
Cheers.

Hello John, Fantastic portrait of Baron Gilbert van Landshoot. I am sure he got the print of it and is very happy. With all the hair of the beard clearly visible, he looks like alive. What an amazing man. How is he now? Are there new sections in the museum? Give him my warm regards when you have such an opportunity.
Kind regards MAlgo

Hello John,
How remarkable that this man has set up his very own private museum - and that he did that in order to honour a promise he had made to his late father.
This gentleman's strong character is clearly portrayed in your fine portrait as he makes direct eye contact with your lens which must have been very close to him at a focal length of only 34mm.
The details and sharpness in this image are truly exquisite, the light pleasantly soft and the colours true.
I am sure you must have given this man a copy of this photograph - and I am also sure he must have been delighted to receive it.
Wonderful!
Kind Regards,
John.

Dag John,
Als koning Filip de kwaliteit van jouw portretten ontdekt wordt je vast uitgenodigd om een serie portretten te maken van de leden van het Belgische koninklijke huis.
Uitmuntend werk !
Groet uit Haarlem met alweer een heerlijke lente dag, Rob

a very well done portrait, I liked the expression of the model and the concentrated expression of his eyes. I would put the green object in BG in black and white, I think it is something distractive. anyway a marvelous portrait.
take care
