black & white Snooze

Is it to sharp or not?

Too sharp? I think everything is great, but may be to much light for sleeping man)

irt is as you worked it so I like it the way you first created it for me to see.

 

Spot on!

Hi Arthur,

This is a very nice real life capture.

Yes, there are parts of the image that are very bright, but people do sleep in these conditions often.

I did want to reduce the brightness of the wood to the left of the man, as it is at a  saturated level. I used some touch up tools in Photoshop, since there was no single action that could manage this range from a JPEG base, without effecting the man's development.

Again the original is fine the way it is presented, and I did the adjustments to see if more emphasis could be placed on the man.

Best Regards,  Mike

 

Great scene, nicely composed.

Thanks Chris :-)

Extraordinary all, lighting, face, pose and mood! PDE

Pierre your comment is much appreciated.

Superb image, powerful and telling a story....Sharpness and BW make it stand out to freeze a moment in the life of.....someone....with the luxury of detail and fine contrast. Congratulations. DG

Daniel! I'm very found of portraying elderly people and the beauty of a weather-beaten face. Kind regards, Arthur
