Another one, tried to make it look like a very old worn photograph again (maybe a postcard). As opposed to the last one I thought a bit about composition on this one. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
Bill, I'm liking your exploration of the "old photo" look. Nice color toning. I feel the vignette is a bit too over powering for the image. The comp. feels a bit tight on top for me. Let's see what others say. I like your font choice also.:)
I'm too am liking these "old photos" of yours, Bill. Great color tones on this. I agree with Denise on toning down the vignette a bit. I love the pose of the flying bird, though I do think it would be better if it was positioned a little more to the right.
I've got two minor points besides the vignette...
First, I don't care for the stick running across the bird's breast on the right. I really would consider cloning that out.
As for the main bird, there is one area that is brighter white that is pulling my attention away from all the lovely toning you've done here. It's in the middle of his back where the wings are showing and it's a round blob of white. I'd give that another round of toning to bring it down some so the entire bird catches the eye instead of that one circular area.
You're really doing a great job at this William! I'd keep at it. You really seem to have a vision here for how to create these old time images.
