I love the uniqueness of this image. I don't think I have ever seen Buffs portrayed like this before ............it works an absolute treat. I am sure others will dissect the techs however imho perhaps if the right hand buff was as sharp as the left it would improve an already cracking image. The catch light in both eyes of the left buff is so so awesome !!!!
All praise here for something different Giovanni, and agree with Basil's comment on DOF/sharpness, you could have easily pushed your ISO on the 1Dx further here which may have addressed that issue.
I'd be keen to see a colour version here as that would have been my preference.
Hi Gio -- I too liked the way you are experimenting , i found the thumbnail very interesting but on seeing the image after opening it left me a bit confused as it appears a bit over processed to me . Nice effort and worth developing on the idea .
