Meet Mr. Catfish

[Dave Phillips]

This was a street shot of a fellow named Catfish.....he's homeless and lives that way by choice.
Full of stories and a wonderful character with the sweetest dogs that accompany him everywhere.

I processed original portrait with a little LucisArt, then took a vertical crop slice and flipped it to the other image half.......did that make sense? It turned the image of a nice gentle man into something almost sinister looking. The "half" I flipped is posted below

Just a "different" oob image, thanks for looking and any input
:)

used right half of this image

Wow, what a classy beard and facial wrinkles! Love this one, Dave. Have you thought about doing it in either B&W or sepia? Great image, congrats.

Dave, Really nice effect ,thanks for sharing. The crossed eyes make me dizzy!! Great job!! I also like the orig image- his face has so much to say. I always like to see the orig. it always adds to the wow factor,esp. on a photo like this.

Very cool image! I can't believe you put those two halves together and got that image out of it. Wow!

I'd also love to see this in a sepia print...bet it would be stunning.

Dave, kudos for having thought about such a possibility to mirror this particular image. Seeing the original image (with Mr Catfish facing another direction), it wud've never (atleast to me) occurred that I cud try mirroring !
Lovely job in PP too.

Talk about character, that face cold keep you busy for a while, it would make great B&Ws too :)

Creepy and scary but super cool! I agree B&W would work well also.
