p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Old man leaning on his stick


As this won't even get a look in on the People forum (no girlie or glam shot ), I thought I would post it here. I took this gent a month or so ago and did a touch of dodging and burning and this is what I came up with ....eventually.

Comments and critique welcome as always.

Cheers

I love it the way it is. So much emotion there, I wouldn't mess with it.

Beautiful image Sheila. I love the way the light plays with the subject and highlights the strong features!

Fantastic.

What a wonderful image! I really like it.

I like the PS work as well. Only suggestion I'd have at all is that I might try lightening the face just a smidge and see how it looks - with particular focus on getting some definition between the cheek/jowl and the collar... though, of course, it may just be that my LCD monitor isn't showing that, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt! =)

Great shot, Sheila. Kind of reminds me of that great sculpture "The Thinker."

Very Strong. Is he praying? Crying? Is he tired? What is he thinking? Dramatic! I really like the lighting and how the shadows on the face really draws me more into the image to ask the questions above.

Sheila, I simply love this picture, but I am wondering how did you manage to capture that shot. What were your camera settings? I assume this was a candid public shot?

Can I see the original, unedited (but cropped) photo? I'd like to compare the before and after PP.

Here is the original image, converted from RAW to Jpeg, no PS, and resized for Image Upload. I used Optikvervelabs to convert to mono and did a bit of dodging and burning
