Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
Nikon D90; 1/60 sec; Aperture Priority; f/6.3; ISO 500; ambient light; adjustments made with Nik Software: Silver Effex Pro and Sharpener Pro. Canvas was increased on left side to balance image and some cloning on right side. Increased light in some parts with adjustment layers.
This is VG Mirenchu. Like the stylized look of the whole shot, and if I were to be really picky, I think the only thing that gets my attention is the tree beside the young man's head. Otherwise, it looks very well thought out and PP'd.
I like the balance of the dark right side to the strength of the man.
Only real question I have is what is that thing in the middle just below his elbow? looks like a plant?
This picture was taken at the Miami Dade College gardens. This young man has a tatoo on his right side, but is only the outline, no color at all. And yes, Jackie, I think I will remove the background trees, I'm sure it will look better thank you for your suggestion!!! : )
Mirenchu, this is a very lovely image. Excellent work on the b&w toning, you have a great range of values represented. The composition is wonderful. I think Hazel is referring to a plant or something that is just visible along the bottom edge of the frame, just left of center. I might clone that out. Nice!
Think it is Mirenchus' sig:)
Nice image and application, Mienchu.
Nice tones and feel of the balancing of the image. Others have commented on issues to be adjusted.
Thank you for comments! Know I see what Hazel is refering to, and it is the date (84) when the artist created the sculpture (his signature is not visible) and that it has to go too! :)
