I did a less saturated effect to this and added some brown tones. I

also added a little canvas texture. Let me know what you think. I was

trying to go for the antique look.

Very nice, Emily...7/6!

I don't really think "antique look" when I see it but I do think " What an excellent portrait and a beautiful subject." nicely done.

Thank you Masood! I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Thanks Paul - I didn't know what to call it, at first I typed old fashion look but changed it. I like the subtle quality of it instead of being bright like the original. Maybe classic is a better term. I appreciate you kind comments - take care.

Emily, this is one of my favorites from your recently. I don't think I have seen a better sepia conversion. This looks classy and timeless.

I think this is one of my all time favorites of yours. I will have to try it. How did you add the brown tones? I must add that the look on his face is priceless also.

Thanks Will & Bridgette - My thoughts exactly on the timeless portrait, Will. That is style that I really am liking these days. He is just a darling kid so most of his photographs turn out really well. As far as the conversion...I know I desaturated it, played with color balance, adjusted brightness/contrast and did so burning & dodging. I just play around until I find something I am happy with. I also added a little canvas texture just so it wasn't so smooth. Thanks for commenting - I always get excited when I open my workspace and see that someone has commented:)

This is an AMAZING shot Emily. The lighing and DOF are top class. The PS work excellent and the pose looking just off camera make you realise there is a world beyond him and makes you question, just what is he looking at.

 

Ger..

Great - old style fashion with this magnificent look. Soft, simple, pretty. Well done. Good work.

Oh, what a sweetie dear Emily! Reminds me of "The Kid" :)

 

excellent!

Very sweet ol' fashion photo. I love it.:O)

Another wonderful shot, great tones!

Thanks everyone for your comments. His parents really liked this shot as well and are ordering a large one for their wall so I am anxious to see it blown up.

I love this shot and the treatment - I have been experimenting myself - I now have a 'thing' for natural light (have a look). Love the rest of your studio work! Regards

A beautiful portrait - soft lighting and a great subject.

 

Please don't demean him with awkward titles. His "title" should be his name.
