You Will Kick The Bucket Gringo, Sooner Or Later

Great creation . I would like to get inside your head , I wonder what goes on in there . Bill

We are waiting too. What will happen and when... Is he going to fall of the horse...?

Great idea and well executed.  Looks like a scene from High Plains Drifter.

"Dove andrà questo cavaliere?",...sembra chiedersi  questo rapace!

Us Gringos plan to kick the bucket sooner or later. In fact, since we will kick the bucket we are more free to do what we want. A secret of life- don't tell anyone. Regards R Coney

Great job Pierre! super composition and I like the way you have flattended the image and smoothed the edges of the insertions. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful creation Pierre !...sure looks awesome.

Regards.

Very good Pierre, as always !!

Regards.

great work and compo!

That agrees perfectly with what I said.  The background is in the manner of the technique you describe, which would involve underexposure and overdevelopment to make the contrast high and shadows darker than normal.

The bird does not seem to come from the same process or belong to the same image, though.  It makes the whole think look like a Weegee (Arthur Fellig) photo.  "American Night" should apply to the bird as well as the background, I think.

There were a lot of different techniques to emulate low lighting conditions in the cinema.  I haven't studied them, but I've seen how different they look in various films.  One of the most interesting is Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief."  best, j

Wow.  Very impressive and unique.  Best Regards,

I like the humor in this piece. Well done. How many times have we seen the circling birds and wondered what was on the ground? This would be good even without thebird in front, nice sense of composition and story. - Charles
