Fred Crane BW 2

Thanks for viewing and your comments

A classic portrait. Very nice work Frank!

This is a beautiful portrait Frank. Quite aside from the compelling subject, the tonality and delicacy of focus really make this picture stand out. Congratulations!

Another gem to say the least. Keep em' coming!

Frank: While I'd agree that the facial capture is outstanding, there is something about the variable background tones that do not look right to me. I'd try this as a square crop, focusing on the image's strengths (his eyes, expression and beautiful hair). I'd also clone away some of the pure black shadow along his collar line, as in the attached.

Thanks again for your help. You are right. I already cloned out the object in the right background; so I'll keep working on it. For a wannabe photographer, I keep trying to improve.
