On My Mind

Your critiques, comments, and suggestions welcome... constructive or

not. Thanks...

I love the tones and textures on this shot. Shadow work is great as well. My *only* suggestion would be...the subject seems..not quite out of focus, yet not quite in. I see the background dof is blurred a bit more..which I like there. Somehow this almost seems like an HDR overlay with the subject...was it?

No HDR or composite here. It was layered onto itself with BW then color version to try and give it an aged and timeless feel. I think the biggest problem you're describing is resolution. I failed the golden rule of cropping in the view finder and went too far in photoshop. I couldn't resist though. The spring in his step seemed lost in the far away composition. I was zoomed in all the way, just not standing close enough for the moment. Thanks for your time and feedback... very much appreciated.
