Bird Photography - Old Style

[Harold Davis]

was playing around with silver efex pro and actually stumbled across something i liked. it started as an old pic from a tampa bay trip with mr shadle.

thanks for looking. comments and critiques appreciated.

Hi Harold, I really like the silver efex program and this does look like an old photo! I like the HA and pose, I also like the vignette. I would run some NR to top portion of BG . Nicely done!

[Dave Mills]

Hey Harold, Nicely handled and I believe you succeeded in the desired effect. Good comp!

Hmmm...I think it's too sharp to be an old photo though :D:D

[Christopher Miller]

Very well done, Harold! The color tones and vignette definitely give it an old photo look.

LIke the vignette H~ I'd probably soften the image a bit to make it appear older and worn out. Plus I feel that older photos usually don't appear as sharp as yours. Awesome though! :)

I love this Harold. Which presets/settings did you use? I need to try it.

I love the tones in this Harold. You got great detail in the bird's feathers and a really nice BG. It's true that an old photo wouldn't have the crispness that you have here but I still think it works - you could possibly choose to smooth parts of the image if you wanted but it's so nice as is I'd be tempted to leave it alone.
