tick tock

I would really appreciate your feedback. Assuming you like some digital alterations,

if you feel obliged to rate this one 4 or lower, please let me know what you think is

lacking. I'm not offended by constructive criticism; if It's helpful, I welcome it. Best

sutil,parabéns.

I like the treatment generally, like an oil painting and a suitably dressed subject.  It gives me the impression of an Old English Tavern and one of it's customers.  The clock though..........I'm really not sure about. Although I can see it could symbolize a thought process, and indeed the impression of the man sitting in quiet reflection. The clock itself appears just a bit too obvious, maybe something smaller, more subtle and perhaps in Roman Numerals ........just my thoughts rambling on. 

To summarise I do like it......better without the clock though.

Compliments!

It's hard to believe, but the clock was already there. The gentleman was just one of dozens of folks that attended the Texas Renaissance Festival dressed in steam punk attire.  I know.  Fortunately my son and his wife were with us, and since he's a walking reference book, I have some knowledge of  popular culture. If you're not familiar with steam punk, and why would you be, it's a rather new phenomenon, and though it's interesting, I'd find it hard to explain. Suffice to say, I can't take much credit, or blame, for most of what's in this photo, just the alterations of an already fascinating image. Best Regards, Jerry  

Best regards, Jerry!

I'm pleased that you like it, since I like it a lot myself, and being reaffirmed is very gratifying. Best Regards, Jerry

Many Thanks for your response and explanation, I wrongly assumed after your forewords, ref: digital alterations" that the clock had been added PP. 

The photograph becomes that much more bizarre and surreal knowing that the clock was in fact there in reality! 

 

Best Regards

PS: - "Steam Punk"  ...yes I am baffled, you are right I'm not familiar with the expression or the cult.

In the upper left there is a big 'thumbs up' so that is a hint that this is a well liked image.  Good color tonal range. All the best and Happy Christmas!

I'm glad you enjoyed it; it's really growing on me as well. I hope you have a happy Christmas and a great new year.  Cheers, Jerry 

A really beautiful creative result, Jerry!
