'I have lived in Bristol all my life'

'I do like a nice fag'

'Let me tell you, I have been smoking for 70 years'

'I am 81 years old now'

'I can still look after myself'

'Fags keep me young'

good stuff again, make a nice mono?

[lumpster]

thats my favourite of yours so far

Nice work:thumbs::thumbs:

[Diego Garcia]

Thanks.

Mono, no does not really work - looses to much from the skin tones and blemish.

Lumpster, less processing here as the face does the work but usual layers etc.

Diego.

[matty]

certainly plenty of character in that face

[SammyC]

Mate, have you considered doing a collection? There are several pubs in Bristol that seem to have weekly displays of work from paintings to photos.

[Venomator]

Good one Diego ... as Matty says loadsa character in the old gal ... and plenty of life by the sounds too ... :lol:

Well shot ... :thumbs:

One of the best you've done Diego, and I think this level of processing is just right for the style you seem to be after.

I am loving this series of portraits with the little snapshot stories. Fags obviously don't keep Joan as young as she thinks they do :lol:

[Balliolman]

This is a portrait full of character: well done!
