A couple from today... first portrait type shots.

OK the 1st doesnt work for me, the background is too visible (texture etc), and overall the colours and contrast I feel are not strong enough.

But the 2nd, well it's awesome The pose is very cool, put me in mind of Colin Firth with his confused and angry look, he uses it in all his films. Very funny. I think its sharp, colours are good, and the chain really adds to the shot

Good stuff.

And boy, it sure feels wierd commenting on what appears to be a naked dude.

Yeah l agree. The second one makes you step back...its quite powerful....and funny. Made me smile.

 

[avarice08]

Thanks for comments guys.... maybe I had overprocessed the first one....

This is unprocessed version.

Thanks

Rob

lt is better. Although l'd boost the contrast a bit...but then l love contrast, and l know l overdo it at times, so maybe don't take any notice of me.

 

[EdinburghGary]

Agree, a tad more contrast needed and a sharpen.

 

[avarice08]

Thanks for advice so far... any better?

Bucket loads better already that background could still do with a little smoothing though to remove those distracting wrinkles.
