old man

[shihan]

During a walking through the streets of Zaandam, I met this old man of 84 years (a former Circus-owner) and we had a interesting talk. I made some pictures on poster-size for him as a sort of reward for his willingness to pose and the stories. He was astonished and thepictures hang now on the wall of his appartment in the olders-home!

I really like this. There is a lifetime behind the face, very expressive. I'd clone out the messy bits on the bg. Otherwise a great pic

It looks like he has already... there's a lot of jaggies round the head, and hat especially. You can see the white halo from selecting and retouching.

Overall though, it's a very good picture - just a bit more time cleaning up round the edges is all it needs!

I would rather take a portrait of a senior citizen than of a baby... the senior has much more character!

:Agree: with reddeathdrinker,
Looks like the origional was a good photo but the PP spoils it a bit.

Go back to the original photo and take more care in PP.

I love older people telling me stories of their lives....had a ww2 pilot telling me about his time during the war the other day at work....must have chatted for close on an hour!!

lovely shot, can see he has a lot of character

Stop cutting out your portraits to put them onto different backgrounds. The effect looks diabolical, and the PP work is dreadful, and ruins what are normally good shots.

The photo it nice, you've captured a great expression. The post processing, however, is terrible and completely ruins what could otherwise be a great portrait


EDIT: Ooops I've just noticed you've been banned so you won't be seeing my constructive crit now. Ho Hum!
