He can't be that scary surely...................

Did you shoot this in RAW? If you did then I think you probably need to tweak the white balance.

 

[minesamojito]

Nope, i usually do, but was playing about with my camera so had it set on portrait mode and that doesn't do RAW files i don't know, didn't think the WB was that far out? i like it looking a bit warm though. Thank you for your reply

Would have helped if the subject was right in the centre of the frame, the composition doesnt quite qork here.

And its sooo very, very red! I think you need to fix that

 

[minesamojito]

thanks for the feedback, used levels to bring back the red quite a bit...:bonk:
and cropped to centre....

does this look any better?
also tried in b&w
what do you think of this?

thanks for looking
cheers

Thaaaat's better! And I love it! This is today's "My Picture Of The Day". It's certainly got character, that I do know for sure.

Thank you Ian, my dad certainly has got character....he was showing off with all these silly faces, and i just wanted to capture them, i like the colour best but think it looks different in b&w, anything else i can do to improve? anyone want to play with it??
thanks for looking

B&W does it for me - in a 3 Stooges kinda way.
